Peatland Legacy (Saving Ireland’s Peatlands) EE17 EP4

[@markrandall2997]

Great information

[@Jerbod2]

Great video. Hope you guys restore the habitat for peat bogs. Whether a bog is 5 meters deep or 10 centimeters probably doesn't really matter for the biodiversity, as deep down in a bog there's no life at all - right?

[@matisskozlovs8548]

How much methane gas does natural peat bogs release annually?

[@simonmasters3295]

Bang On the button!

[@michaelwalsh9145]

Loads it is decaying material after all but then again the whole co2 methane thing is a load of bollocks either way.

[@oliverboyle2038]

So turf is renewable?

[@manc66]

Yes but it takes thousands of years.

[@justtrashed]

As renewable as fossil fuels

[@thesilentmothtrapper4373]

Very nice. Edit Thanks for having me on

[@cellonoobtapipro8010]

Nice, Tim I am cello

[@manc66]

Wind farms encroaching as well, damage to biodiversity?

[@michaelwalsh9145]

Can you not see the hypocrisy? The alarmists doing the opposite to what they have you crying about.

[@nialllyons94]

Do "cut away" bogs and scrubland have any protection in ireland or can farmers just continue to drain, "reclaim" and convert to grassland as theyre doing all over the country ?

[@EcoEye_TV]

Hi, its a good question but unfortunately no clear answer. It largely depends on who owns the bog. Theres no automatic protection and much of our bogs are 'commonage' or owned by extraction companies. There's almost zero financial incentive to do anything with cut away bogs except to abandon them and despite the PR nonsense, this is what happens to most when theyve finished extracting anything of value. If they were even forced to dam up drains and at least leave them alone, they might have some chance. Unfortunately this only happens in the odd case and the PR people get to work extolling their 'rehabilitation' and 'conservation' efforts. The bogs that are protected had to get that status and are often SACs in their own right. and unfortunately they are generally tiny and few and far between. Apologies for the lack of clarity in this response but its Irelands dirty and not so little secret.

[@michaelwalsh9145]

Can you not see the big picture? The globalists are using climate as an excuse for food shortages while at the same time paying governments to get their farmers to reduce food production?

[@noelogara1]

this video is educational and instructive.

[@michaelwalsh9145]

It’s a globalist propaganda piece, just listen to your local radio station when the news comes on and hear constant propaganda rather than local news, they are paid to push that nonsense and it’s time for you to wake up to it.

[@simonmasters3295]

"1400 species of moss ... Some in specific habitats like Irish Peatlands" I say: Rewild it! Especially the bits that have been stripped! Recreate the ancient forest of Eire on the degraded remains of thirty centuries of abuse. Start with willow.

If you believe you’re such a burden you know where the door is.

1:25 is the biggest boomer moment ever

[@average-video-enjoyer6620]

XD TRUE

[@jopjop5533]

Only for peat bogs thousands in irelands would be living in fuel poverty and thats today in 2023 1000 litres of oil hit 1800 euro last winter.

[@kamaz21ural17]

Tat moment when you realize they are telling lies!!! True stories.

1mm every year 😅 ...and one pass milling it takes 50mm off the field. How many passes are done a harvest. You do the maths...

Sad to see that this is one way discussion and nobody acknowledges that peat is renewable resource

[@ErnestoCore]

Renewable, yes. But at what rate? 8:07

[@tomasaurusstack6200]

Do you hear yourself

[@matisskozlovs8548]

We have great results in bog restoration and CO2 storing in Latvia after harvesting that I would like every one to come and see. So please contact me if you to see that and understand how it really works 🤝

[@simonmasters3295]

Follow the methane. Think outside the bog.

[@patrickmorris8934]

Peat is not a renewable resource.
