If you think your morning commute is a logjam, you should see the Mackenzie River Delta in Nunavut, Canada.

Unlike logjams of idling trucks, sedans, and SUVs, this literal logjam stores carbon.

Covering some 51 square kilometers (nearly 20 square miles) it's the largest-known cumulative logjam on Earth, consisting of fallen trees that have floated downriver from surrounding forests and accumulated in the delta over the centuries.
 
According to a new study by researchers from the US and UK, those logs collectively hold about 3.4 million tons (3.1 million metric tons) of carbon, representing a significant but poorly understood carbon pool.

It's another eco-disaster created by environmental whackos themselves.  To "save" forests by not allowing dead would to be cleared, they have created this monster.
