-Permafrost is a soil whose temperature remains below or equal to 0°C for at least two consecutive years<ref>[https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/03/WG1AR5_SummaryVolume_FINAL_FRENCH.pdf#page=212 Glossary, Report 5, Working Group 1 (French)]</ref>.
+The two last cards to be added to the Fresk after card 40 are potentially violent feedback loops or "climate bombs" which, if triggered, would cause us to lose control over the climate for good.
-Two cards were added after card 40: they are loops of potential violent feedback, "climate bombs", which if triggered, make us lose control over the climate for good.
+Thermokarst are veritable bioreactors at the heart of the process of releasing frozen carbon: when the permafrost thaws, pieces of soil detach and fall into the water, bringing nutrients and carbon to the bacteria and plankton present in the sea, which degrade them into CO<sub>2</sub> (in the water layers near the surface) and methane (CH<sub>4</sub> -- in the oxygen-deprived bottom).
