U.S. California wildfires produce huge amount of CO2e emissions: study-
The fires were responsible for 23% of the state’s emissions in 2020 | Graphic detail
A new analysis led by researchers with the University of California has found the 2020 wildfires in the state, the most disastrous wildfire year on record, put twice as much greenhouse gas emissions into the Earth’s atmosphere as the total reduction in such pollutants in California between 2003-2019.
