Sea-level rise is also irreversible — the heat collecting in ice sheets and the ocean will continue to drive sea-level rise long after the temperature is stabilized or even lowered. Arctic permafrost — frozen, carbon-rich soil — is thawing and beginning to release the carbon stored within.

As they walled off rivers and created dry islands from what was previously soggy marsh, they discovered incredibly rich soil. No one foresaw that this very bounty — soil rich with organic material — would, over time, become a curse of sorts. That organic material contains copious amounts of carbon. And the land began to sink.
