That's the whole climate-change part - it's not going to be inhospitable for long. Global warming affects the poles more than temperate regions - climate models predict up to 10C warming in the arctic winter. As the permafrost melts the biome is going to change dramatically, although the transition is likely to be quite messy.
- mc32 4y agoWhen the Tundra defrosts it's muck, things sink, vehicles get stuck. And it's freaking hot in the Summer already, so turn it up and I don't know what it is, but it's not hospitable.
- nostrademons 4y agoSure, but if the tundra defrosts for long enough, you start getting evaporation, aquifers, drainage, all the normal water cycle stuff that happens in more temperate parts of the globe.
