- DoreenMichele 3y agoI'm tired. In my initial comment, I leapt from methane to greenhouse gasses. Someone pointed out the error and said methane is only 20 percent of all greenhouse gasses. In a different comment, I said we need 50 to 100 such projects but I think I'm still just making errors in my head. It may be 5 to 10. Since 1700, we've lost 85 percent of our wetlands. Peat stores a lot more carbon than forests. I think this project makes it sound doable to find enough threads to pull to calm things down, but I'm really not coping well with the math which is likely convincing people I'm an idiot. People default to thinking this isn't fixable anyway. They need very little in the way of excuses to stand on that.
