Where There’s Fire, There’s … Global Warming?

The recent surges of large, uncontrolled fires throughout most of the world have potentially massive impacts on human health, the economy, biodiversity, global warming and even on additional fires. Fires contribute to global warming because they emit greenhouse gasses, and the resulting warming conditions further increase extreme fire weather since warmer climates lead to dryer conditions. As more fires occur, additional spikes of carbon emissions occur as well.
