    Not to worry. The idea that CO2 is a "pollutant" is errant nonsense.

    These peatlands are a precious international resource for all sorts of reasons - not just carbon sequestration - and the two Congos deserve all the support possible from the global community to preserve them. However, attention is taken away from the very serious subject matter by a simple factual error - these peatlands (larger than Great Britain) surely cannot have been, "Discovered only in 2017"?

    This is more fear mongering by climate change scammers. Fear sells. At present there is 400 to 410 parts per million (ppm) of CO2 in our atmosphere which is well below what used to be there e.g. 1600 ppm and primates flourished. Today greenhouse growers have to pump in CO2 to bring CO2 levels up to 1000 ppm which is the required level for optimum plant growth. Let the peatlands of the Congo basin release away....if it is even true. It will save greenhouse growers a lot of money. As proof watch this................ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjlmFr4FMvI
