With AFP Story by Clement SABOURIN: Canada-Environment-Science-Climate

The tundra near Kuujjuarapik, Quebec, Canada in the Canadian Arctic December 7, 2014. International scientists are following, near this Inuit village, the impact of the melting of the permafrost in the Canadian Arctic.

The permafrost is the frozen ground of the Arctic that never melt. 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
