Earth's Largest Logjam Holds 3.4 Million Tons of Carbon, Study Finds
Story by Russell McLendon • Yesterday 2:00 AM
 
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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
