Canada’s 2023 wildfire emissions equaled annual emissions of India

1. Axios reports that wildfires in Canada in 2023 released as much carbon into the atmosphere as the emissions from fossil fuels in India, said scientists in the journal Nature.

2. This is bad, however, there is a big difference between adding locked up carbon to the atmosphere and accelerating the release of carbon already within the natural carbon cycle. It is disturbing to think about these two elements of the climate because forest fires are a microscopic blip, those trees will re-grow, whatever..

   The gas/coal and oil we are pulling up out of the ground and ejecting in to the atmosphere are what needs to stop.

3. What’s this year’s wildfire emissions going to look like.

4. The emissions of India… so far.
