Basically all the coal we have burnt was at one point peat bogs. They seem to have been a great success at sequestering carbon for us to eventually release. We've done so, proving your point, but it took a while.

So what's the "natural" solution? Create swamps all over the place? How quickly do they remove CO2 per surface area?

Reforestation, with controlled logging of mature trees to sequester the carbon. Most likely as a building material, given that our current demand for wood is higher than what existing forests can sustainably supply.
