- Damaged peatlands are a leading source of emissions globally, and restoring them will rely on convincing the public sector and private finance to give conservation projects long-term backing

Imagine that you had to calculate the risks of climate change and species extinction in the given geopolitical and socio-political context.
Now that you realize how complex this task is and how big the error bar of your result will be - you come up with "Well below +2.0K"
Families were implicitly told: “Well below = Safe”
..........Not in the sense that a family understands 'safe' -> +2.0 is close to hell. The error bar is giant
restoring the Rhizosphere, literally anywhere, is just as valuable as protecting what's left of the peatlands. You can store carbon in living organisms everywhere there's active living soil. You just feed that soil pre-digested organic waste like earthworm castings and insect frass. Everywhere is a carbon sync, and every pair of human hands is the solution. Investment can't solve anything unless it's investment in normal people rebuilding living ecosystems.
Look at the methane numbers. Arctic is melting. Things to consider: food production and wet bulb temperature. Extinction has a way of sneaking up on you.
No. We still can fight back. We have the knowledge what we need to do
Listening to a politician talk as here, I struggle to trust a single word they say. I can never figure out what they really mean.
Greatttt
airlines will offer now on the reservation page a section of how if at all the passenger would want to add the additional cost of decarbonizing the "flight" through either direct payment of a portion of renewable fuel being part of the flight or even adding some "investment" of additional cost beyond the seat/flight reservation fees for offsetting carbon into various alternative carbon storage plans.
Pay the airline who uses the money to buy carbon credits to justify further pollution while the money from those credits goes to companies who announce a stretch of forest on an inaccessible mountain ridge won't be cut down. Or they promise some section of Indonesian forest which has already been illegally logged won't be logged, they don't check.
greenwashing & greenbashing...
Pet lands are an immense natural source of methane

" Pet lands are an immense natural source of methane"
So much nonsense. Biogenic methane is part of the natural cycles SINCE EVER. It is the same nonsense to blame peatlands for climate change as it is to blame the cows.
The biogenic methane comes from anaedrobic bacteria which are an essential part of every living ecosystem. And those ecosystems are the cause why our planet is cooled - by plant respiration and water cycle. So all of this including biogenic methane is a part of natural regulation of the climate - and as a result we have a STABLE climate which doesn't neither warm nor cool too much.
That is why biogenic methane is NECESSARY and is nothing wrong. Exactly the same are the cows on a pasture who keep the land healthy by various means.

Still that is NOTHING compared to what every big city is emitting....
Porque é que há sempre a tendência para atirar montes de dinheiro e financiar o que nos prejudica e tudo bem...e não haver financiamento para investir no que nos beneficia porque é demasiado caro?!?! Que paradoxo estará intrínseco a este pensamento pequeno?! E depois não ter capacidade de resposta pelos danos causados?!!
deepl much?
Estamos sobrecarregados. A confusão global das alterações climáticas e da extinção de espécies é gigantesca.
Sob esse estresse também cometeremos erros enormes. Quem não sabe disso?
Espero que meu alemão traduza um pouco. Não posso fazer nada além de 'Obrigado'.
The presenters for this channel are always slightly off, NPC meets Liz Truss vibes although this one is a sedated, automated Princess of wales! 😂 great subject matter but dont tell the Irish as they’re still burning it like its recoverable! ❤
Worse, Ireland is importing peat products from elsewhere after making them locally has been banned, and the Irish national forestry body does almost nothing but draining boglands to plant non-native trees.
CO2 is good. You might get more views if you stop lying.
