Footage was taken by Alaska Conservation Solutions near Newtok, Alaska. You will see massive erosion, sluffing of tundra, melting permafrost and loss of coastline.
As a soil scientist, this is an urgent problem which needs publc awareness and inclusion in public policy. The melting permafront and its methane generation also needs to be included in climate and global warming models. Thanks.

It was right next to the sea, of course it was melting.
If the sea has suddenly thawed it would be different but that wasn't mentioned.
Freezing and melting happens with the seasons and even within days.
Mr Soil Scientist should ask if this is normal before declaring the world on fire.
