High levels of carbon in peatlands can have a huge environmental impact if those ecosystems are destroyed. What are your thoughts on the work being done here?

I respect and support these people who are out there. In the mud and the guts of it all seasons day in day out. Telling us how it really is. ✌

If you don’t trust in climate change, or global warming, please at least trust in saving the rainforests in the world.

It all comes down to what the country decides to invest in as a source of income, as well the demands that exist for it. To find faults is one thing, but to actually offer an equally working alternative is another story.

People are calling their greed as their needs..what I learnt form this video is that Earth is slowly preparing to cook us.

Question, is the increase in volcanic activity that goes up in a steady line alongside temperature just a coincidence?

50 eruptions per year on average but for an example the last 3 years before this year had more than 70 and this year has already had 66

Importante trabalho na amazônia, preservar e cuidar de umas maiores florestas do mundo é o dever de todos biólogos ecologistas conservacionistas e ecólogos.

Compared to historical records, present carbon levels are reportedly low. Plant life thrives on carbon dioxide and therefore it would increase peat deposits, wouldn't it?!

[resiliencelyfe]

Why is everything of significance for research in Africa? Aren’t there peatlands in Europe?

[Oosjhteuikmm]

Why am I hearing Pete Wentz instead of peatlands??

[MohdArif-plsy]

Own Orchard, before that it was peatland
From this video, i should do nothing to it, storing carbon for free and remain poor.
