Nature World: A new study revealed that warmer winters and increasing snowfalls due to climate change is causing the permafrost below the shallow arctic lake. According to the study published in Geophysical Research Letters, changing winter climates over the last 30 years have limited the growth of seasonal sea ice, leading to warming of lakebed temperature of Arctic lakes less than 1 meter deep by 2.4 degree Celsius. This makes the annual lakebed temperature to be above the freezing point. This rate of...
