The bushfires in Australia have contributed to one of the biggest recorded annual spikes in the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, the U.K.'s Met Office said on Friday.
Concentrations of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere have already far surpassed what scientists consider to be safe limits. Although the data series started in 1958 has always shown CO2 concentrations increasing year-on-year, driven by fossil fuel burning and deforestation, the rate of rise has not been perfectly even, the Met Office said.
Australia’s fires are themselves a foretaste of the kind of catastrophes that are liable to become normal as the planet warms, with prolonged drought and low humidity making arid landscapes more vulnerable to huge blazes, scientists say.
I wished that help was much earlier to burn out the fires and not have global c02.
Oops let’s tax more so that the level will go down!
So do vulcanoes...
But when the brush regrows does it not act a massive CO2 sink? Like the trillion tree plan the sequestration of CO2 in plant life is most efficient on new growth. So over time one could argue that it may be a net positive for Global CO2 levels.
did they get the arsonist yet?
