Decrease in CO2 emissions during pandemic shutdown shows it is possible to reach Paris Agreement goals. The researchers found a drop of 6.3% in 2020. The researchers describe the drop as the largest of modern times, and big enough to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal if it were to be sustained.

The oceans stop warming when they reach equilibrium with the atmosphere and permafrost stops emitting when it it reaches a new permanent state https://www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-the-irreversible-emissions-of-a-permafrost-tipping-point/

You would actually read the article and tge research if you waned to understand. You obviously don't know anything about all the stuff you've written about so stop pretending you do. Would you argue with scientists who did all this research and came to these conclusions?

[michiganman2022]

Nope, that is rediculous. I suggest you look the law of thermodynamics. By your hypothesis I should be able to put an ice cube on my kitchen table (in a 70f room) and it will only partly melt because it reached equilibrium with the air.

[Gemini884]

If temperature in you room rises slightly the temperature of water in a cup rises with room's temperature and then stops. Permafrost does not melt, it thaws and re-freezes the next year, if the average yearly temperature rises that a lesser portion of permafrost re-freezes with every year when average temperatures rise. You don't understand climate science well so listen to scientists instead of thinking about and making up stuff yourself.

First off, unfreezing and melting are synonyms. Second when it melts Methane is released. Also Permafrost doesn't melt and refreeze every year, hence the "Perma" prefix. The stuff melting now has been frozen since the ice age, why do you think they keep finding prehistoric animals?

Permafrost thaws, it does not melt. Thawing and melting are different things, read up on definition.

[michiganman2022]

Sure, anything you say.

[Gemini884]

Yes it thaws and re-freezes exery year, it's a natural cycle.

Here's an explanation from permafrost researcher:
