Thanks for this post omerazam. I am a person who has great interest in whether or not there is Human Caused Global Warming.
The wetlands are also very important as filters to remove aquifer contaminants. This is vitally important because if an acquifer becomes contaminated with chemicals that make the water dangerous to drink, the acquifer can remain unusable for centuries. All large water systems except for sea water desalinization depend on acquifers for their water supply. Excellent post.
I'm not convinced that the reduction of wetlands per se have a significant effect on warming though. would have to see some evidence.

" I am a person who has great interest in whether or not there is Human Caused Global Warming"
Then you've read all the science and understand there is a scientific (rather than dogmatic) consensus that anthropogenic global warming is a fact. Because if you're interested, you'd have read the science rather than the fluff opinion pieces paid for by the oil and energy companies, right?

"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) concluded that anthropogenic CO2 emissions probably caused more than half of the "global warming" of the past 50 years and would cause further rapid warming. However, global mean surface temperature has not risen since 1998 and may have fallen since late 2001. The present analysis suggests that the failure of the IPCC's models to predict this and many other climatic phenomena arises from defects in its evaluation of the three factors whose product is climate sensitivity:
Radiative forcing Î;F;
The no-feedbacks climate sensitivity parameter κ;
and
The feedback multiplier Æ;.

Some reasons why the IPCC's estimates may be excessive and unsafe are explained. More importantly, the conclusion is that, perhaps, there is no "climate crisis", and that currently-fashionable efforts by governments to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions are pointless, may be ill-conceived, and could even be harmful."
Making anthropogenic global warming a relative theory, hardly fact.

Scientist to discuss the depletion of Human brain cells from reading Gullible Warning stories .
Seems believing in Gullible Warning depletes brain cells used for reasoning , thus render individuals to a sheep like mentality , which keep uttering the words "Bah-elive" .
