LSAT 33, Reading Comprehension, Q20

DISCUSSION: Lines 47-50 say that peat decomposes and releases CO2 when tundra melts.

___________

1. CORRECT. Rising temperatures melt permafrost, and that leads to decomposing peat, as stated in lines 47-50. 
2. Unfortunately, no. Peat releases CO2.
3. Peat is decomposing now. More would decompose if temperatures rose further, but the process has already begun. 
4. We have no idea. There’s no mention of peat at lower latitudes. 
5. Same as D. There is less warming at lower latitudes, but there’s no mention of where most peat is.
