If the Arctic permafrost melts, greenhouse gasses equivalent to burning all of the world's forests two-and-a-half times over could be released.

But it can still be saved, scientists said.

The discovery opens up the tantalizing possibility that on other planets, life forms that need only atmospheric gas to survive exist, too.

Soil can store three times the amount of carbon found in the atmosphere.

"We could be eventually getting ourselves into a situation that we can't control."

Earth's ecosystems might not adapt to elevated carbon levels by that time.
