Species that lived on the planet during the Permian period were unable to generate CO2 to levels of mass extinction. The main suspects are located in the East Siberia basins in Russia, where series of massive volcano eruptions ravished more than 1 million square miles of land pouring huge amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. As temperatures increased during this event, the currents of…

Arctic amplification is expected to cause arctic warming through the year 2100. This warming corresponds to a trend of decreasing in sea ice area and extent through the end of the century. Despite this anticipated trend, inter-annual variability in arctic sea ice extent remains relatively unpredictable. The variables affecting sea ice growth include, but are not limited to, large-scale atmospheric circulation, local meteorology, and dynamical surface fluxes, thus the forcing on arctic sea ice is…
