This estimate, however, doesn't take into account the carbon released by vegetation that decays once the fires have been extinguished. Nor does it include the long-term effects of losing forests, which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thus can help slow global warming. read more
Nor does it include the long-term effects of losing forests, which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thus can help slow global warming. That warming seems to increase the frequency of wildfires. read more
The global temperature is increasing and the climate is changing due to the greenhouse-gas emissions we have already produced, leading to a likely rise in the incidence of wildfires. But it is not too late. What we do now has the power to influence the frequency and severity of these fires and their effects on us. read more
Not really. A forest fire happens when it’s very dry and it’s hot outside, when it’s very dry, it causes the trees to caught onto fire, global warming really has nothing to do with, since forest fires are caused by nature itself. Forest Fires do not affect Global Warming, since Global warming is caused by CO2 emissions. read more
