If the permafrost does thaw, as our model predicts, it could have a major influence on climate.

There's a lot of carbon stored in the soil. If the permafrost does thaw, as our model predicts, it could have a major influence on climate.

People have used models to study permafrost before, but not within a fully interactive climate system model.

Humans have had a large one-of-a-kind influence on the climate.

I was always really proud of the fact that I had a very positive influence as a role model.

Our homes were very decorative, full of pattern, like inexpensive throw rugs. It must have had some influence, all this color and everything. Because we were so poor the people used this as a means of brightening their life. I used to do bright patterns after these throw rugs; I got ideas from them, the arabesques, the movement and so on.
