The negative impact of climate change will continue way into the next century even if the world starts to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by 2050, a study has revealed.

According to the research, even in a scenario of “negative emissions” by the middle of the century – where more greenhouse gases are removed from the atmosphere than are released – or if the world is at net-zero, areas of permafrost will keep thawing and giving out both carbon dioxide and methane.
