Peat Bogs Worth Carbon Credit Gold

We use a lot peatlands as an alternative to oil. It's just been compressed under extremely high pressure and temperature. Then we dig it out of the ground and burn it. It's called coal.

But seriously. Let's look at their arguments for "preserving" peat bogs. You could easily by extension, apply the same logic to West Virginia's coal fields, Iowa's corn fields, Kansas' amber waves of grain, Alaska's forests, or the oil fields of Saudi Arabia. This is the kind of absurd logic that starts to fly around when folks begin talking about carbon credits and all that malarky.
