I don't see why the context of the article matters, it is the information that it provides.

Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth, said the finding was a stark message to politicians to take concerted action on climate change. "We knew at some point we'd get these feedbacks happening that exacerbate global warming, but this could lead to a massive injection of greenhouse gases.
"If we don't take action very soon, we could unleash runaway global warming that will be beyond our control and it will lead to social, economic and environmental devastation worldwide," he said. "There's still time to take action, but not much.

This person isn't a scientist involved in the study, but is quoted in the guardian as part of their hit piece. This is why its bullshit. Its a tainted source and they were leading all of you up to a conclusion.
This is what the real scientists involved said.

Kirpotin describes an "ecological landslide that is probably irreversible and is undoubtedly connected to climatic warming". He says that the entire western Siberian sub-Arctic region has begun to melt, and this "has all happened in the last three or four years".

If I may be crude thats a HUGE fucking difference don't you think?
I started being interested in environmental research since I was in 7th grade, my first science project was on acid rains effects on Annelida at age 12. Sadly I didn't know how much utter and total bullshit was in the environmental movement until I started to study it at the university level. It didn't stop me from graduating in the field, but it really soured me to the motivations and honesty of the people involved.
