Not to mention all the methane that is trapped in the permafrost.

Well great, now you've gone and mentioned it

And the diseases trapped in the permafrost.

I don't think it's trapped in the permafrost as much as that when the permafrost thaws, it will start to rot and methane will be a byproduct of it's decomposition.

Ever get that feeling like you’re in a rollercoaster and you’re getting very close to the top of the first big hill?

I think we are well past the top of the hill.

Are you claiming that ancient industrial sites made the pollution in the permafrost, or are you just wording it totally wrong?

Thawing permafrost in the Arctic could release pollution from thousands of industrial sites
