Scotland's peat bogs recognized for their vital role in storing carbon

- Peat bogs are vital carbon sinks. Created when carbon-rich remains of plants are submerged in waterlogged land and turned into peat, they cover about 3% of the world's land, but they store twice as much carbon as all the world's forests combined. For our “Eye on Earth” series, Mark Phillips visited Scotland's Cairngorm mountains where efforts are underway to restore peat bogs in the name of climate emergency.

i feel the idea of cleaning up or covering peat bogs washed away or exposed areas is noble. it hits something that has been exposed as dangerous. Diverting, changin, or slowing flows of natural water can and has been affected.
Niagra falls one example as slowed erosion. The restrictive path of the water and flow paters. the flow patterns of human direction. I do say that it is pretty. Niagra falls is one that was slowed for viewing and other things have done well.
it can be harmful. how did these bogs survive before we did something? they just did. Nature fines a way
Before you succeed in the world succeed in your mind first ✊ ✊
So...they locals can walk cut some turf and burn it for heat but sonehow thats bad...
I guess when oil have to be drilled and travel to ireland from saudi arabia to burn it somehow its better
OK, call me crazy but it feels like a lot of the metal they are doing to try to make it better makes it worse
Yes but peat bogs are even better for alcohol
When do landfills and sewer ponds get to sale their carbon credit. I mean if you have an unwanted asset with carbon in it why not poof value out of your imagination and sell it.
All plants store carbon.
We breathe out CO2.
Plants released oxygen..
It's called earth..
Yes, but different types of vascular plants and soils can have wildly different carbon-trapping capacities. That means that some ecosystems are more important for reducing CO2 than others. Wetlands beat forests for the most capacity.
Well said
Dude no..just no.
@@OllieCreatesyes exactly
Aannnd stil using carbon burners to do the job!!
Too bad they are being dug up for us to plant our houseplants
