Climate warming at the Arctic..and what after the melting of the permafrost ?

Abstract EN

The average temperature rise in the North Pole, Siberia, Greenland, Alaska and Northern Russia to cause the melting of very old ice revealing a corpse of reindeers reached by an epidemic virus disappeared for decades in these polar zones.

This was the main cause of the re-emergence of anthrax disease, which was considered a very dangerous epidemic in the polar reindeer population.

The consequence of global warming is the very advanced melting of the pack ice below the superficial layer of eternally frozen soils, which has released toxic gases that have been trapped for a long time.

Among these gases one cites methane which is class hazardous natural gas.

Siberian soil is constantly releasing other highly hazardous materials and gases.

A high-risk contagious bacterium has emerged from permafrost, (a sub-surface layer of soil that remains frozen all year long occurring mainly in Polar Regions) on behalf of Anthrax.

Anthrax, or disease of the anthrax, disappeared since 1941 - 75 years ago, appears under various symptoms such as fever, vomiting and cutaneous wounds.

It is infectious and is fatal unless treated.

It is a contagious disease affecting both humans and animals (Scandal of the envelope contaminated with a bacteriological weapon largely mediated after the attack of September 11, 2001).

The first appearances of the people contaminated by this bacterium go back to last July that caught the Anthrax contagion from the reindeer.

Polar reindeer herds are widespread in the polar region and have hundreds of thousands of heads (about 250,000 individuals).

Since the first half of December 2016, more than 2400 reindeer have been killed, as the number of people attacked by this bacterium has increased to 72 cases, including 41 children who have been hospitalized (report by the Siberian Times).
