Rising temperatures,
. . . are causing Siberia’s long-frozen ground, called permafrost, to thaw, and
. . . creating mysterious giant craters.
"The warming that happened 130,000 years ago,
. . . happened over thousands of years,
. . . what we see happening now,
. . . is warming over decades, or a century.
We are therefore seeing a much more rapid collapse of the permafrost," said
. . . professor of earth sciences at the University of Oxford, Dr. Gideon Henderson.
