In an open-access report in the journal Environmental Pollution, researchers from UCLA and the University of Chicago estimate that California’s wildfire carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions from 2020 (~127 mmt CO2e ) are approximately two times higher than California’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions since 2003. Without considering future...
California's 2020 wildfires produced twice as much greenhouse gas emissions as the state's reductions in such pollutants since 2003, a new study says.
According to a study, California's greenhouse gas reductions might be destroyed by wildfires in 2020. According to a recent analysis conducted by scientists at the University of California, the state's wildfires in 2020—the worst wildfire year ever—emitted twice as much greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than California's overall decrease in these pollutants between 2003 and 2019.
