The fires burn peat, which is a precious carbon sink. This means the fires release vast amounts of carbon.
The 2025 megafire in Scotland released 38,600 tonnes of carbon from burnt peat (the same as Mozambique's annual coal burning), which can require decades to centuries to recover.
The image is Figure 1 from https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-026-01994-3. It shows how extremely dry the soil was in 2025.

Hyvät puutarhaihmiset! Noin 30 hehtaarin kokoinen Nanhiansuon turvetuotantoalue Satakunnan ja Pirkanmaan rajalla palaa. Hiilidioksidipäästöt ilmakehään lienevät melkoiset.
Turvetta kaupataan kotipuutarhureille nyt joka marketissa ja puutarhainfluensserit tyrkyttävät sitä somessa.
Kotipuutarhassa ei tarvita turvetta.

Got some peat for our garden. Buying peat for a garden is very destructive for the environment and peat wetlands are disappearing at a horrific rate. But this was left after someone dredged their fish ponds and dumped it near our village store . At first I thought there was a lot of white plastic in it, but on closer inspection it turned out to be shells of swan mussels, Anodonta cygnea, a sign that the ponds were free of toxic substances.

"By working closely with farmers and graziers we can ensure that they can continue to graze the land. Sustainable grazing benefits the peatland as it helps to keep it healthy by preventing any one species from dominating."

University of Waterloo: Canadian Peatland Data Portal debuts as a landmark tool for climate research and policy. “Peatlands cover upwards of 12 per cent of Canada’s landscape and store more carbon than all other ecosystems in the country combined… Yet until now, information on these critical ecosystems has been difficult to find. To address this gap, the Can-Peat Network at the University […]

So, even if some peat (Canadian peat) is allegedly harvested *sustainably*, I'm thinking this article lays out the problems with using #Peat succinctly and without the hype!
#CornellCooperativeExtension - #PeatMoss and #Sustainability
Excerpt: "Besides #overharvesting, #PeatBogs, #Fens and #PeatSwamps are threatened by climate change, habitat and nearby developments that can change the nature of surrounding areas. They are sensitive to disturbance. There is research that suggests that harvesting of peat bogs adds to climate change by releasing carbon stored in these bogs.
"Peat bogs and fens in America are where #CarnivorousPlants, like #sundews, #bladderworts and #PitcherPlants, and #BogOrchids live side-by-side. The acidic nature of bogs/fens and humidity create the perfect environment for peat moss, orchids and carnivorous plants. #Peatlands are also home to other species that rely on their composition. #Turtles, birds such as #PalmWarblers and #EasternTowhees, #snakes and #grouse, to name a few.
"There are alternatives to peat moss that are more sustainable. #CocoCoir is a material made from the fibers of the coconut husk. When dried, it is packaged into bricks. Once re-hydrated, it can be used in garden containers to both absorb water and keep the soil from drying out. It can be used in the potting mix or on top of the soil instead of mulch. #RiceHulls can be used for drainage in container plant pots. Both coco coir and rice hulls are sustainable. Additionally, #compost can be used in place of peat moss. Coco coir, rice hulls and compost can all be used alone or mixed in with a commercial potting mix to make using peat moss more sustainable."

As I suspected, the article is BS! I would read the next article in the thread for the truth about using peat!
Hmmmm... I found an article about #Canadian #PeatMoss being produced more #sustainably, but I'm not 100% convinced of that... Anyone care to chime in?
