Which outcome results when rising continental temperatures destabilize permafrost barriers?

💡 Explanation

Thawing permafrost allows microbial decomposition of organic matter, resulting in positive feedback. More methane is released because the biochemical transformation mechanism accelerates, therefore amplifying warming, rather than slowing it like decreased circulation.
