21 Conclusions Northern hemisphere land permafrost contains a huge, potentially vulnerable carbon pool. Traditional permafrost melting yields small carbon releases on a 100 yr time scale (~ 0.2 PgC/yr).
22 Conclusions Northern hemisphere land permafrost contains a huge, potentially vulnerable carbon pool. Traditional permafrost melting yields small carbon releases on a 100 yr time scale (~ 0.2 PgC/yr). Worst case scenario: Triggering of postulated organic carbon decomposition heat strong permafrost degradation over next 100 years. Upper bounds: ~ 3 PgC/yr as CO2, ~ 400 TgCH4/yr.
23 Conclusions Northern hemisphere land permafrost contains a huge, potentially vulnerable carbon pool. Traditional permafrost melting yields small carbon releases on a 100 yr time scale (~ 0.2 PgC/yr). Worst case scenario: Triggering of postulated organic carbon decomposition heat strong permafrost degradation over next 100 years. Upper bounds: ~ 3 PgC/yr as CO2, ~ 400 TgCH4/yr. Worst case scenario increases global net carbon cycle feedback factor from 1.2 to 1.3, and doubles CH4 radiative forcing.

Top-down atmospheric inversions do not show any convincing trends of enhanced CO2 or CH4 releases in the northern latitudes.

Top-down atmospheric inversions do not show any convincing trends of enhanced CO2 or CH4 releases in the northern latitudes. Zero th order assessment. Ignores a host of possible secondary biogeochemical and biophysical feedbacks. These need to be studied in more detail to quantify better the global net feedback factor. But will very unlikely change the overall magnitude of the effect.
