They are also essential to ensuring <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>energy</span></a> security to billions of people living in and around mountain regions and areas downstream. They also support economic growth through various water-reliant industries. As the ‘water towers’ of the world, mountains are an essential source of fresh <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a>. They store water in the form of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ice</span></a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/snow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>snow</span></a> during cold seasons, releasing it during warmer seasons as a major source of fresh water for users downstream. Mountains play a unique and critical role in the global <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WaterCycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterCycle</span></a>, and they affect atmospheric circulation, which drives <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/precipitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>precipitation</span></a> patterns.</p><p><a href="https://www.unesco.org/reports/wwdr/en/2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">unesco.org/reports/wwdr/en/202</span><span class="invisible">5</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Environment</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Cryosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cryosphere</span></a></p>

Doug Bostrom<p>One way the US "energy emergency" will unfold, if successful.</p><p>"Under a high-end forcing scenario, the sea ice of the Last Ice Area thins and becomes more mobile, resulting in a large export southward. Under this potentially worst-case scenario, sea ice of the Last Ice Area could disappear a little more than one decade after the central Arctic Ocean has reached seasonally ice-free conditions. This loss would have profound impacts on ice-obligate species."</p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/cryosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cryosphere</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-025-02034-5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/s43247-025</span><span class="invisible">-02034-5</span></a></p>

Adjustment takes 1000 yrs in the model. <br>And in the interim periods, emissions from thawing permafrost do reach 1 to 1.5GtC each year, and for decades! The duration for this soil-atmosphere carbon flux depends on the level and duration of the temperature overshoot. <br>Of course, it also increases the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CO2</span></a> amount to be artificially removed to undo an <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/overshoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>overshoot</span></a>. </p><p>In the context of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/RCPcollapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RCPcollapse</span></a> : <br>the toot above showed how natural CO2 removal after civilisation collapse leads to temperature reduction of more than 0.5°C within 30 years .<br>Now, while permafrost thaw is irreversible on human time scales, it won't continue in RCPcollapse. (Because Arctic permafrost has no general technical tipping point after which self-perpetuating or self-reinforcing processes would kick in. Such processes only exist in small areas, locally, with local-only tipping behaviour.
