Ancient microbes frozen for 40,000 years revive, reorganize, and begin to devour carbon Microbes frozen for 40,000 years in Alaska's permafrost are thawing as temperatures rise, releasing CO2 and posing new climate threats.

Tipping Point ☝️
Microbes, some having "slept" for ~40,000 years, entombed in frozen permafrost can activate after thawing. Experiments show they start releasing carbon dioxide within months of thaw.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
