#NASA study tallies carbon emissions from massive Canadian fires
They found that the Canadian fires released more #carbon in five months than Russia or Japan emitted from fossil fuels in all of 2022 (about 480 million and 291 million metric tons, respectively). While the #CarbonDioxide (#CO2) emitted from both #wildfires and #FossilFuel combustion cause extra #warming immediately, there's an important distinction, the scientists noted.
