According to data from the European Copernicus observatory published Thursday, August 3, carbon emissions generated by fires in Canada have reached unprecedented levels this year. At the end of July, they were already more than double the previous annual record of 2014.
“Currently, Canada’s total wildfire emissions are around 290 megatonnes (of carbon), up from the previous record in 2014 of 138 megatonnes.“, indicates Copernicus in a bulletin.
The figure for 2023 currently only reflects emissions since the beginning of the year and even for the most part since the beginning of May, when the fires began to ravage the country, while the fire season is not yet finished.
