    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the author's claim that climate change is intensifying peat bog fires in places such as Alberta, and it mentions the threat that the carbon-rich peat poses to Earth's atmosphere as of 2016. The peatlands in Canada, Alaska, Europe, and Russia are addressed, along with the negative impacts that warming temperatures are having on the peat bogs which contain sphagnum and other mosses. Wildfires in Fort McMurry, Alberta are also assessed.
