With AFP Story by Clement SABOURIN: Canada-Environment-Science-Climate
French biologist and leading scientist at Takuvik Joint International Laboratory, Florent Domine, one of the scientists studying the temperature changes of the permafrost in the Canadian Arctic, sets up equipment to detect temperature changes in the tundra near Kuujjuarapik, Quebec, Canada on December 5, 2014. The permafrost is the frozen ground of the Arctic that never melts. But under the impact of the global warming, this soil (25% of the northern hemisphere) is more and more warming up. Once unfrozen, it produces huge volume of greenhouse gas, that, according to scientists, could become a "carbonic bomb" that is already speeding up the global warming. AFP PHOTO /CLEMENT SABOURIN
