There is a book written about Peat. It is entitled, "Coal and Peat Fires, (click here) A Global Perspective, Volume 4, PEAT, COMBUSTION AND CASE STUDIES

It is on Google Books. No excuses. It is a global threat! Peat is found in the floors of tropical rain forests as well. Peat is what smolders so long after the slash and burn of ignorant people seeking money and not profit. There is no profit in burning tropical rainforests. People live in those forests. Tropical hardwoods are harvested from those forests as possible. Animals live in these forests. They contain some of the most beautiful flowers on Earth.

Peat is best as a carbon sink.
