poem “Uranium: Permafrost Saves”, a twitter-length poem about how Uranium and its eventual decay to a thorium 230 isotope can gauge how unstable the permafrost was on planet earth until about 400,000 years ago, which was close to the volcanic mass extinction that eventually lead to our complex human live - because the stable permafrost keeps tons of carbon dioxide and methane an decaying organic matter frozen and not released into the atmosphere to make the planet too warm for live to thrive, By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

Uranium:
Permafrost Saves

Thawed permafrost
releases 1,400 gigatons
of carbon dioxide,
amplifying climate change.
Permafrosts’ historic samples
of Uranium to decayed thorium
show permafrosts’ instability
‘til 400,000 years ago.
Then, post-volcanic
mass extinction
lead to us.
So, the permafrost... saves.
