This would increase the annual carbon emission to somewhere between 380 and 920 Mt CO 2 e by 2020 depending on water management practices and the extent of plantations. Despite increasing awareness of climate change in that period, the rate of peat destruction was higher in this last 3 year period than ever before.

The researchers used new data from the European Space Agency’s CryoSat-2 satellite spanning 2010 to 2012, and data from NASA’s ICESat satellite from 2003 to 2008 to estimate the volume of sea ice in the Arctic. They found that from 2003 to 2008, autumn volumes of ice averaged. 2003 to 2008 was 16,300 cu. until 2008.

Most climate models have suggested that evapotranspiration, which is the movement of water from the land to the atmosphere, would increase with global warming because of increased evaporation of water from the ocean and more precipitation overall. Data indeed show that some areas are wetter than they used to be.
