Nice piece by @dancharles.bsky.social featuring @tannebergerf.bsky.social about rewetting peatlands that have been drained for agriculture in Germany and elsewhere.
"An average acre of drained peatland releases about 12 tons of CO2 every year, roughly the equivalent of driving 25,000 miles."
"An average acre of drained peatland releases about 12 tons of CO2 every year, roughly the equivalent of driving 25,000 miles."
This soil is slowly burning, releasing CO2. The solution? Let water reclaim it
Peatlands, formed by ancient wetlands, store more carbon than the world's forests. But when they're drained for farming, they vent heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the air.

Great visual overview from the 2024 edition of the Global Carbon Project by @ryankatzrosene.bsky.social . See whole thread.
🚨Global Carbon Project 2024 assessment is out! Here are my fav 10 charts (from the 2nd half report😅):
1) Energy use by source. Fossil energy just keep growing; hydro and nuclear declining 😬; but renewables growing exponentially (at this rate they'll triple in a decade)!

Opinion: With Trump in the White House, expect the states to take charge on climate progress
The president-elect is likely to pull the U.S. away from climate-change solutions. So efforts to reduce emissions in America will have to come from the state level

When northern bogs first started forming following deglaciation, they caused some global warming. However, for the past many thousands of years they have cooled our climate. We need to save bogs and protect peat by keeping it mucky, healthy, and wet.
