Media Shied Away From Climate Coverage in 2025
Despite Increased Reader Interest
Mainstream media around the world last year drew back from reporting on climate change, according to new reports.
This drop occurred despite increasing reader interest in the topic,
while greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations continued to hit new historic highs.
According to a year-end analysis by the Media and Climate Change Observatory (MeCCO),

Wetlands do not need to be flooded to provide the greatest climate benefit, shows study #environment

Wetlands do not need to be flooded to provide the greatest climate benefit, shows study
Wetlands make up only about 6% of the land area but contain about 30% of the terrestrial organic carbon pool. Therefore, CO2 emissions from wetlands are central to the global climate balance. In Denmark, the plan is to flood 140,000 hectares of low-lying land such as bogs and meadows as part of the Green Tripartite Agreement. Flooding such areas will slow down the decomposition of organic material in the soil and keep the CO2 in the soil rather than allowing it to be released to the atmosphere …

Peatland restoration can deliver climate mitigation benefits within a few decades
New research indicates that restoration of peatlands can result in climate mitigation within just a few decades. In Finland, some 60,000 hectares of previously forestry-drained peatlands have already been restored, comprising mainly nutrient-poor sites with weak tree growth. In such cases, peatland plants remain viable and react rapidly to restoration, resulting in the formation of a thick new layer of Sphagnum moss.
