BBC video: Russia permafrost melt – ‘We have no opportunity to stop it’
Russian scientists travel to Siberia to measure output of methane from permafrost lakes. BBC goes along. “It’s taking place now, and we are too late, to my mind, for decision making. This process has started, and we have no opportunity to stop it. We have only a time to delay it, to make the results less horrible.” Dr. Sergei Kirpotin
