   Welcome to the #Pyrocene:
   Global forest fires emitted 33.9 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) between 2001 and 2022

   🔥 Increase partially driven by the frequent #heatwaves and #droughts caused by #ClimateChange

   🔥 on average, the area of forest burnt by fires between 2001 and 2022 was 11 times the size of the 🌳 forests planted by humans during that period.

   🔥 global fire carbon emissions are expected to double,

   🔥 carbon emissions from forest fires need to be included in national climate plans with a monitoring, reporting and verification system for such emissions.

     The not unforseeable outcomes of carbon offsetting working a charm.

     We don't count a countries military, international shipping or aircraft flights, so those emsisons don't exist...apparently. I can see countires like Australia, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia and Canada objecting to including fire emisisons :) just as the US, Canada, Russia etal would object to permafrost emisisons.

     We're good at self deception.
