You’ve all heard the story of Peter Parker, aka Spiderman. Even
The Hunger Games’ Peeta gets a fair amount of credit for a somewhat lacklustre main character. But no one’s talking about the real hero of the hour, Peat. In terms of protecting our planet, Peat’s doing everything he can. He’s busy capturing carbon in the soil, maintaining biodiversity, and reversing the effects of climate change left, right and centre. Who is this guy?
Well, Peat is partially decayed vegetation (no wonder he doesn’t get much attention). They might not sound like much, but peatlands are actually one of the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, vital for regulating water flows and soaking up 0.37 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (CO?) every year. To put that into context, 0.37 GT equates to the vol ....

Summary:
New US Covid infections for the week ending January 16th were 8.5% below those of the week ending January 9th, so it appears that the incidence of new cases mat have peaked and is turning down, at least for the time being. One caveat to that, though, is that we don t know how many of the prior week s cases were from reports that had been delayed over the holidays. For a check on that, we can compare new cases from the week ending January 16th to those from the week ending December 19t ....

Peat Bogs: Restoring Them Could Slow Climate Change – and Revive a Forgotten World


By Ian D. Rotherham, Professor of Environmental Geography and Reader in Tourism and Environmental Change, Sheffield Hallam University. Originally published at The Conversation.
Bogs, mires, fens and marshes – just their names seem to conjure myth and mystery. Though today, our interest in these waterlogged landscapes tends to be more prosaic. Because of a lack of oxygen, they can build up vast quantities of organic matter that doesn’t decompose properly. This is known as peat. Peatlands could contain as much as 644 gigatons of carbon – one-fifth of all the carbon stored in soil on Earth. Not bad for a habitat that stakes a claim to just 3% of the planet’s land surface. ....
