Bogs and swamps contain more carbon than all other ground vegetation. As the permafrost melts, greenhouse gases are released, which in turn accelerate global warming.
Peatlands and wetlands play an important role in global warming because they influence the greenhouse gas cycle. But not all bogs are the same. Some bind carbon, while others release it into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide and methane emissions.
The film follows the work of two research teams investigating the influence of moors and swamps on the climate. Greenhouse gases escape when permafrost moors melt. But swamp and mire areas that have been thrown out of balance, for example by plantation farming for the production of palm oil, can actually accelerate climate change.
The documentary explains what happens when carbon escapes from swamp and moorland areas into the atmosphere and how nature’s potential can be used to slow down climate change. “European peatlands contain five times more carbon than European forests. It is therefore very important that the carbon remains in the peatland,” says Dr. Minna Väliranta from the Environmental Research Centre at the University of Helsinki.
The researcher and her team are conducting field research to collect data on the effects of global warming on Arctic permafrost peatlands. Until now, there has been little data from the far north of Europe; many research findings from other regions have simply been generalized.

The Star way Project as I already have commented on my Facebook side or opening the fifth dimension for all. That should solve the problem, but it also means we have to all work together. What! you don't believe me, then refute the 1.0 experiment? But I understand, unprovability is the way THEY make their money.
Wird auch nie zu spät sein, wie ist das Carbon bloss da in "die Erde" gekommmen? Genau, es kam aus der Luft, sprich Atmosphäre, und bliebt dann da liegen weil die Erde sich abkühlte. Mist, warum sollte es ein Problem sein, wenn's ein Stückchen andersherum läuft? Lasst Euch das von Greta ausrechnen, die haben ja tausende von Groben Fehlern in ihren ganzen Klimaberechnungen: die Bundesregierung liegt besonders falsch: von Ideologen werden sie gehetzt und reagieren darauf auch noch. Wegen einem Gretchen, mensch, holt doch noch den Rumpelstilz hervor.
To reduce emisions, we must first stop making more emissions.
Aka, we must first STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS!!!
Permafrost melting is stuff for nightmares.
Success. The ecosystem was a communist.
Cheer up ..the birds will love it
Thanks for trying, real heroes, hope future, global wonder
We could solve climate change in 4 years if we wanted.. Nuclear power. With that we can replace all fossile fuels as well for cars, planes and boats with synthetic fuels coming from atmospheric co2, But people are stupid and think electric cars and solar power will solve it..
This a good one!
We actually have colder winters in northern europe now due to el niño, last 2 vinters been great for skiing with plenty of snow and terrible cold wether. At wasa loppet for example, so why complain about lack of perma frost, just now. Enjoy the cold weather you who like it, for me i prefer shorter winter, longer varmer summers here. You in the warmer countries please visit Sweden in summertime wheater is "perfecto" for a Spanish citizen. And we travel to spain in the winter, best of two worlds. Use plane price is less due to its more economic, that means it uses less energy, energy is money, you dont have to be Einstein to figure out what makes less impact on the environment. Stop fooling yourself.
Hey my seniore crash 😙
Mercury sounds Ok Right?
Mercury poisoning is a type of metal poisoning due to exposure to mercury.
Symptoms depend upon the type, dose, method, and duration of exposure. They may include muscle weakness, poor coordination, numbness in the hands and feet, skin rashes, anxiety, memory problems, trouble speaking, trouble hearing, or trouble seeing.
High-level exposure to methylmercury is known as Minamata disease. Methylmercury exposure in children may result in acrodynia (pink disease) in which the skin becomes pink and peels. Long-term complications may include kidney problems and decreased intelligence.
The effects of long-term low-dose exposure to methylmercury are unclear.
Maybe not?
Anthrax sounds OK, Right?
Anthrax is an infection caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis.
Infection typically occurs by contact with the skin, inhalation, or intestinal absorption. Symptom onset occurs between one day and more than two months after the infection is contracted.
The skin form presents with a small blister with surrounding swelling that often turns into a painless ulcer with a black center.
The inhalation form presents with fever, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
The intestinal form presents with diarrhea (which may contain blood), abdominal pains, nausea, and vomiting.
Maybe not?
I can imagine a day where there will be surfing in St. Louis as the great inland sea stretching from the expansion of the Gulf of Mexico inland to as far north as Missouri and into parts of Texas and of course Mexico.
We will probably not need to build the Border Wall between the US and Mexico after all.
very interesting documentation, thanks
Charge chemical companies with crimes against humanity. They are crimes ruining nature and making humans chronically ill.
The song in the beginning?
What is the type of this music called?
Why would you want to slow "climate change"? Life flourishes under warming. The greatest diversity of life on this planet resides in the tropics, not Greenland.
If the carbon has been stored in these areas then they serve as disproof of climate change since these areas were warmer some time in the distant past. Seems science is making claims and then disprove their claims and never see they are disproving themselves. Maybe the permafrost melting is nothing new at all. They think what they are seeing is some sort of recorded time machine.
At least here they are admitting they have little understanding of the environment. All they really know is the earth changes all the time and they do not understand why or how. They spend lots time making assumptions.
Blaming the reindeer anthrax deaths on melting permafrost has no evidene and is just an assumption. Seems science likes to make assumptions.
Draining wetlands is does not reduce biodiversity a claim without evidence.
The climate has been warming since the end of the last ice age, which is possibly a good thing. When the dinosaurs were around 65 million years ago, the world was warmer, wetter, and greener, which sounds good to me.
WEEE CANN BLAMMEE BITCOINN They keep mining next to these glaciers in these big plants full of ASIC miners that put out hella heattttttttt in Finland and iceland because its cold there and the energy cost is low
The only problem is American oil corporations and the immediate answer is affordable Chinese Eletric cars, they are set up and ready. The oil controlled west is already seduced so cannot solve the problem. China has no oil corporations and they are becoming rapidly dependant on renewable energy and affordable EV's. Let China help the world. The western car industry will be forced to catch up at least the EU. Stop vilifying China take advantage of this ancient successful people.
