2. Over the last 40 years alone, the concentrations of both CO2 and methane in the atmosphere have increased significantly and have contributed to the observed rise in global air temperatures.
3. Peatlands have played a unique role in regulating the global climate over the last 10,000 years by sequestering (taking up) CO2 from the atmosphere, releasing methane (another carbon gas) back, and storing vast amounts of carbon in the process. Map: @greifswaldmoor
