Here I use the 'Scroll bar visual metric'
Multiple evidence that we continue to overlook a key solution sitting in plain sight: 1. IPCC Report still mostly blind to peatlands and in thrall to forests. 2. Irony of CC plant in Iceland sitting within (apparently invisible) peatland UN Climate Change BBC News (UK) bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

“It now seems inconceivable that there would not be a #PeatlandPavilion at the next COP. Is this the start of a whole new frontier for #peatlands on the world stage? May it live long and prosper” - Richard Lindsay, Uni of East London #COP26 #PeatlandsMatter
