Had a nice walk through some peat bogs today. Little chilly early morning start but it warmed up quickly towards the afternoon.

Peatlands' 'huge reservoir' of carbon at risk of release, researchers warn

Peatlands make up just 3% of Earth's land surface but store more than 30% of the world's soil carbon, preserving organic matter and sequestering its carbon for tens of thousands of years. A new study sounds the alarm that an extreme drought event could quadruple peatland carbon loss in a warming climate.

#Congo Basin #peatlands found to be over 40,000 years old, doubling previous estimates https://phys.org/news/2025-07-congo-basin-peatlands-years-previous.html

"One of the most unexpected findings is that the peatlands began forming during periods of the past when we think that the regional #climate was a lot drier than it is today... factors other than climate must have made the #soils wet enough for #peat to form... Compared to many tropical regions, the Congolese peatlands have largely escaped threats such as #deforestation and drainage"

As #beautiful, unrelenting, and harsh as Alaska can be, it’s equally fragile and precious The Gov’t wants to build a 200+ mile road that cuts through land of over 60 #indigenous tribes It will pave a road through Gates of the Arctic, the only National Park without a paved road

This is a PRIVATE road, that ONLY heavy machinery can use, for the specific purpose of drilling and mining copper to be sold to a CANADIAN company, which will then sell the materials to CHINA, which Americans will then have to buy back at a 125% #tariff, all at the expense of Alaskans.

This road would also run along many critical regions Destroying #salmon spawning streams, cutting off #caribou migration paths, endangering indigenous food supplies, polluting water supplies for ALL Alaskans

For an administration that claims to be “America First,” I can’t see how any of this could possibly benefit any American citizen. It’s greedy, it’s evil, it’s disrespectful, it’s disgusting, it’s unforgivable to want to ruin this land.

If something like this can happen to a place like Alaska - this needs to be a wake up call for all Americans. This can, and will happen to the rest of our public lands if we stay still. We can’t let billionaires and this joke of a govt bribe, lie, and cheat their way into filling their wallets

If you’ve made it this far down, please consider sparing a minute more to write to our senators Let them know that we cannot allow this absolutely horror of a road be built through this sacred land It’s never too late #publiclandsinpublichands #noamblerroad act.npca.org/page/89143/a...
