    There’s tons of carbon frozen in Arctic permafrost. As the planet warms up, the ice melts, dumping more CO2 into the atmosphere and causing a runaway effect.

      There’s also tons of carbon dioxide dissolved in seawater. As the planet warms up, the warmer sea can hold less carbon dioxide, dumping even more CO² into the atmosphere and accelerating the runaway effect.
