Peatlands & Global Warming

?

Suggest why the continued draining and clearance of peatlands may contribute towards GW even though they may be used to produce biofuels?

  • Combustion of biofuels releases CO2 recently removed from the atmosphere 
  • Therefore there is no net increase in CO2  in the atmoshphere
  • CO2 is a greenhouse gas that absorbs infrared
