IMG_7338_methane (2).jpg Air bubbles and methane trapped in ice above a frozen peat bog in the Lake district UK. Methane is 20times more effective as a greenhouse gas than C02 and is starting to be released in huge quantities as global warming indiuced rising temperatures  cause permafrost to melt and peat bogs to turn from carbon sinks to net contributers of greenhouse gases. This is one of the feedback loops that could mean we end up in a situation of runaway warming.

366W0724_climate change_methane.jpg Snow cover over a bog in Saariselka northern Finland. As the temperatures warm and the permafrost starts to melt large quantities of both carbon dioxide but more worryingly methane are starting to be released. An example of a positive feedback loop that is accelerating climate change

IMG_7266_climate change_peat bog.jpg 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.

366W9217_climate change_peat.jpg Peat deposits at 1800 feet on Steel Fell in the Lake district. As the climate warms peat bogs are turning from capturing carbon (carbon sinks) and becoming net exporters of carbon. An example of a positive feedback loop that could rapidly accelerate global warming.
