The power of peat: Canada's secret weapon against climate change 

Great video. Hopefully more people can become aware of the true value here. We must not allow the destruction of this land.

Taking away from the peatlands can never replace what will be lost forever.

Wetlands, and areas adjacent to lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water should never be developed in any way. Thank you for informing us.

No to exploit the peat land

Great Video, Hopefully no one touches that peat land. We need more of these peat lands.

These risks & pollution are what happen when Canada prioritises the unpredictability & complexity of multiculturalism & diversity.

Ignorance is the worst of evil.

Co2 is the gas of life

Why worry about a few small areas of mining when urban sprawl is covering up thousands of acres of productive farmland with concrete!

Slightly unrelated but what is Canadian government doing about overwhelming immigration from countries like india. Immigration without diversity is a disaster

Lots of information, thank you. I hope the greedy ones won't touch those areas. A strong and honest government won't allow this to happen.

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤❤Save Canada’s Wetlands, Don’t let Them be destroyed by Greed🤑🤑🤑🤑😪😪. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

⭐️ Nous devrions envoyer cette vidéo à autant de personnes et de sites que possible, c'est tellement bon 🍁 We should send this video to as many people & websites as we can, so good

Florida was nothing but wet land forest but humans filled it in now lots of it is dry and its full of none permeable roads.

I did a calculation to get the weight of a single extra large Depends adult diaper, because I saw a commercial on TV that depends now hold 25 times their weight. This is more exciting than anything Steven Guilbeault has ever said. It holds 1/2 of an imperial gallon of urine. Wow!

As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises? The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance. We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us. It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us-whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit-because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us. No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other. If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature. In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other-from negative to positive.

There was a silly advertisement that stated "give the people what they want!". When do governments give the people what they want? How many people want to get rich? How many people at least deserve survival necessities? Thank you for your helpful and informative videos!

To reduce the need for mining in ecologically sensitive areas we could create a secondary safety net for children and adults consisting of apps to ensure safe housing, clean water, healthy food, quality education, and full health care, an online educational and empowering system of government to identify problems and vote on the most logical and ethical solutions, and a community builder simulator to plan future development to be in harmony with the Earth and with each other.

I often wonder if Canada even needs the minerals at this site. If these companies are shipping the minerals off shore, what is the point. With new EV Battery development using sodium, and better recycling of our existing minerals, do we have all we need here in Canada?

I'm all for saving the planet but.. Do these people not know that just to notice a 1 or 2 degree difference. It will take 1000 years give or take.

Thank you ma'am for this show n explaing value of peatland n life of peolje living there. I often wondered million of miles in Siberia, far east russia Canada, Alaska n Norway etc what goid they are if they fo not support human living in orderly manner. Good day

Save our wetlands - that means YOU duggie.

We cannot combat Climate Change it is inevitable " "What can we do to live with and survive Climate Change". China emits 31% of global carbon dioxide are they reducing emissions, I think not. They are building more coal powered plants in 2023 than they did in 2021. Canada emits 1.9% . With our forests we are probably carbon neutral. Asian continent including China emits 53%. Unless these countries reduce emissions , fat chance of that. What we do here is futile. It is a cash grab ( simply) by the Federal Liberals which is hurting Canadians Financially. Smoke and Mirrors by the Liberals. Lies and hypocrisy.

Peat is a non renewable resource.

Those elites and politicians will show you how much they care about it as soon they find some money 💵 to profit from it !!! Bad but remember !

What's the difference between mining for gas or batteries? Neither is a renewable resource.

A few decades from now, it'll be a young mixed forest. The ice started melting over 10,000 years ago...everything changes, its just nature. As far as mining goes, Junior's "just transition " isn't going to be built with unicorn farts...the eco crazies can't have it both ways.

Thiers not enough building in Canada with all the land and low population.

Then why was Quebec allowed to build a massive dam in the North with the final build expected to dam every major river on the Hudson Bay?

Somebody show Trudope this. The carbon tax can now be cancelled. 👍👍👏👏

Cuz they built cities n town over top of them... I've seen it my self. They poisoned the water, thousands of frogs where hoping in our neighborhood, on the streets, in our yards. I was young and thought it was cool, so I caught a few, they all died in less then 8 hours. The road was littered with dead frogs. A month later they started building apartment building on-top of what was once a wet land....

35 billions of carbon that enough th power our wourld energy for quite a long time, but I believe this is one more wacky idea ,and nothing more

I want to marry peat

YOU AND I NEED TO CONSUME LESS! MINDLESS CONSUMPTION FROM YOU AND I ARE WHATS CAUSING THE NEED FOR MINING.

The world needs more "Green Hydrogen"

Kool!!! It’s not so secret if you tell everyone tho 🤷‍♂️

I hope its unscathed
