| Britain's BBC reports that an annual emission of 29 gigatons of CO2 would mean "the mass death of forests, with the trees releasing the CO2 they had stored up, adding to global warming instead of restraining it. And that could stimulate phenol oxidase reactions in the peatlands to unleash more of the 455 gigatons of carbon--an amount equal to about 60 percent of that in the atmosphere now. Together, these geologic formations could hold thousands of gigatons (billions of tons) of carbon dioxide. |
