Taken from MacDougall et al. (2012) showing the additional warming
induced by permafrost thawing for four diagnosed emissions pathways (DEP, see text below for explanation).

Drought stress could partially be counteracted
by concurrent CO2 -

permafrost thawing.
The fact that polar ice is disappearing faster than predicted from the models along with
