Like loss of sea ice, the loss of permafrost can be a telltale sign of how Earth's natural processes are functioning. Soil temperature records from throughout Eurasia, especially the former Soviet Union, were investigated in a new study. It was found that permafrost temperatures have been rising, and in some areas, at an alarming rate. [Source: Geosciences News (Texas A & M University)]
