Waterlogged wetlands produces methane and CO2. (2C + 2H2O = CH4 + CO2), but if drained it produces CO2 (C+O2 = CO2). In some wetlands this is a yearly cycle that creates lots of ghg's. But in other areas it is too dry for large methane emissions. This means if you raise watertable in dried wetlands you get lots of methane emissions (some estimates says more than they will absorb in 1000 years). So you have to be careful where to raise watertable. You may see Finlands methane emissions from the drained swamps from the satellite measurements. Near Vaasa this becomes visible from space and it is one of the worst areas in the world. These wetland and even forest emissions are why Finland is currently struggling with limiting emissions. Previously forests were counted as carbon sinks, but they have become a carbon source. Similar things can be seen globally. Our forests are turning to a carbon source.

Beautiful!

An extremely well presented climate - ecosystem documentary; super educational and informative. Thank you DW for an important video. In New Zealand where I live the following is true "Since the mid-19th century, New Zealand has lost about 90% of its wetland areas due to draining for dairy farming. Many remaining wetlands are also degraded due to pollution, grazing, drainage and presence of invasive plants" (Wikipedia). Unfortunately, contrary to European perception, New Zealand is not so much a actively managing its environment being more concerned with agricultural exports , originally developed to feed the British as part of its empire. In the1980s in particular with the full implentation neoliberal economic principles embedded in a strongly capitalist system, dairy, beef, and lamb exporting together with other forms of 'industrial agriculture' have decimated the flora and fauna of the landscape and biome. Similarly with the oceans within the country's EEZ. A sad state of affairs which looks set to continue apace.

Since the 1980s, a decrease in air pollution has led to a partial reversal of the dimming trend, sometimes referred to as global brightening. This global brightening had contributed to the acceleration of global warming, which began in the 1990s. In 1990, the IPCC First Assessment Report acknowledged that "Human-made aerosols, from sulphur emitted largely in fossil fuel combustion can modify clouds and this may act to lower temperatures", while "a decrease in emissions of sulphur might be expected to increase global temperatures". In 2020, COVID-19 lockdowns provided a notable "natural experiment", as there had been a marked decline in sulfate and black carbon emissions caused by the curtailed road traffic and industrial output. That decline did have a detectable warming impact: it was estimated to have increased global temperatures by 0.01-0.02 °C (0.018-0.036 °F) initially and up to 0.03 °C (0.054 °F) by 2023, before disappearing. Regionally, the lockdowns were estimated to increase temperatures by 0.05-0.15 °C (0.090-0.270 °F) in eastern China over January-March, and then by 0.04-0.07 °C (0.072-0.126 °F) over Europe, eastern United States, and South Asia in March-May, with the peak impact of 0.3 °C (0.54 °F) in some regions of the United States and Russia.

Since Finland is part of the northern permafrost region and has similar ecosystem dynamics as the studied areas, it is likely that Finnish permafrost will also become a source of greenhouse gases.

There is no permafrost in Finland.

So from the soil samples in the northern wetlands, it was warmer and more humid prior to the Little Ice Age. Then it became permafrost and now it’s humid again so moss can grow. Sounds like the climate changed way before the 1850s.

Thank you for bringing this topic up. As a Fin I've heard so much about drying the swamp areas. It's been like the method for growing wood and to get more farmland and excavating peat for energy and potting soil. We just can't handle it like it used to be in yr.1300. Bit more people on planet. Don't buy peat for soil and see who in your political arena demands rights to drain the swamp.

Do you think that vegetation of a larger size will start to move into these areas as frost melts?

As a finn I'm pretty sceptical there are any noyeworthy permafrosts here. Thumbnail sure isn't.

"Old methane"... Well, methane freezes at -182C, so nope, it is not frozen inside permafrost. More likely the permafrost has created lids, bubbles and other chambers that has taken methane in them. Similar things have been seen in nature, specially when water penetrates the lid and methane begins to bubble through. Some most potent methane levels have been found at lake shores where the lid punctures have happened. These lids may contain methane from very large areas.

I don't think its methane, but organic matter that produces methane, and when organic matter thaws, it begins to rot and release methane. Its anaerobic bacteris that causes methane production. Climate change means more rotting means more methane production. The burst is when the bacteria colony has accumulated enough methane. So nothing to do with freezing point of methane. These are microbes that munch on the organic matter and farts, like cows but more abundant.

I think we need to be clearer about temporary and permanent carbon sinks. Insert a forest into a desert, and carbon will be captured. But once in place, it is carbon neutral. Peat bogs, on the other hand, continue to extract more and more carbon as they get deeper.. Similarly, methane is a one-off accelerant for around 200 years, after which it converts to CO2 in the atmosphere.

The Earth has times of freezing ( ice age) and times of melting. This has been going on for thousands of years' and we cannot control it. We are in a melting stage right now, but in the future we will have a freezing period and we cannot fix that either.

Things thaw out a bit in Siberia too, come summer. And these are good times: wetlands are crucibles of life, teeming with all sorts of small things that help support larger ecosystems. Birds need food when migrating, etc.

The bigger story is the 1.2 trillion tons of melting global ice annually, 3.3 B daily, all while sopping-up the heat energy equivalent of 20 Hiroshima yield nuclear bomb blasts PER SECOND, each yielding 63 trillion BTUs.

Planetary astrometry tells us what average temperature a planet will have once we know the gases in the atmosphere. Carl Sagan explained this to the US Congress in 1985. That increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase the average temperature of a planet was known in the 1800’s. The Navies of the world are already dealing with ocean level rise because of the location of their bases. Go argue with your country’s admirals and see how far you get. Climate scientists are very conservative in their projections, things are much worse. Already saw a winter tourist destination deal with a snowless February, rip the snowmobile dealers and ski slopes, no record of anything like that before in an area that is used to February daily temperatures ranging from -20 to 25 F. Minimum of 15 degrees higher then normal. Including temperatures since 1990 is a biased normal.

We should be working on ways to ADAPT towards the change in climate instead of trying to curb the change... NATURE always win.

If the far north warms up, we'll burn less fuel for heating, and be forced into cars slightly less. The cold plains of Russia and Canada will support more life, both wild and agricultural. Have you noticed where most life prefers to exist? Especially human. It's not the Arctic.

Yes, carbon is what's driving climate change... but isn't it more clear to say that human activities are the cause of such an unnatural increase in carbon? Saying carbon is causing climate change negates the human element.

cos she knows as well as others that climate science is for baby brains

#246Lived all over Alaska during The Great Warming in the 1980s, when Fairbanks would zoom over 95°F under the constant Midnight Sun, and Kodiak was the "Northernmost Hawaiian Island" 70°°s. _All the permafrost would melt and then refreeze._ The buildings in Northern Alaska are on special 'permafrost piling' including the AlCan pipeline. Who knew!? But last Summer of No Summer and now looks like 2024 also Summer of No Summer it's still in the 40°Fs across Alaska. *Permafrost, which is only a thin layer of soil on ice, sand, gravel and clay CONTAINS NO METHANE!* 😂🎉

We are doomed.

This is great news!! The planet is getting...greener and wetter. It's the best thing for everyone...

Slow down the weather? Ain’t gonna happen.
