A peat bog on Fairfield in the Lake District National Park. Peat bogs hold huge reserves of carbon dioxide and the methane an even more efficient greenhouse gas. Recent evidence suggests that as the planet warms the equilibrium of many peat bogs is changeing from carbon sinks to carbon emmitters. A worrying example of a feedback loop that could help to rapidly accelerate the affects of climate change.
