Surge in extreme forest fires fuels global emissions 🔥
Climate change and human activities have led to more frequent & intense wildfires. The increased numbers of forest fires was partially driven by the frequent heatwaves and droughts caused by #climatechange. In turn, the CO2 emitted by forest fires contributes to #globalwarming, creating a feedback loop between the two. Heatwaves ➔ Drought ➔ Wildfires ➔ Repeat. Humans also played a part. Many fires were caused by humans: campfires, fireworks and discarding cigarette butts.🔥 💥🚬🚭
