6.  Forest fires: A record year  

2023-12-30

View In: Global Forests

Since the beginning of 2023, wildfires have released some 6.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide, according to GWIS

That compares to 36.8 billion tons from fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal & cement

As a rule, around 80 percent of carbon generated by the forest fires is then reabsorbed by the vegetation which grows again the next season.

The remaining 20 percent then builds up in the atmosphere, contributing the climate change
