The world is getting hotter, with that heat comes drought and wildfires. Excess heat in the
atmosphere creates more potent and destructive storms. Some areas are projected to get so
hot that human life will not be sustainable year-round. Even in the frigid tundras and taigas
of the world, heat is becoming an inevitable problem. As permafrost begins to thaw,
thousands of tons of methane trapped within the ice are released back into the atmosphere,
causing temperatures to spike.
