California Wildfires Cancel Out Nearly Two Decades of emissions Reductions​

Fires burned more than 4 million acres, emitting twice as much greenhouse gas the state’s total reductions over 18 years.​

The record-breaking wildfire season, which resulted in more than 4 million acres burned, emitted twice as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as the state’s total reductions over 18 years, a new study published in the journal of Environmental Pollution.

Wildfire emissions in 2020 essentially negate 18 years of reductions in GHG emissions from other sectors,” the study’s authors concluded.

The study highlights that between 2003 and 2019, California’s greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 13%, “largely driven by reductions from the electric power generation sector.” But the 2020 fire season alone is “two times higher than California’s total GHG emissions reductions,” researchers found.

California has active and hazardous volcanoes

Threat rankings issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for California identify fifteen volcanic centers of Low-, Moderate-, High-, or Very High Threat.

so who can be held responsible for this heinous criminal act?

After all, the CA .gov is always quick to blame the average Joe for driving cars, using natural gas for heat, etc.

Maybe we can blame the idiots who insist on preventing every small fire, and leaving a huge pile of detritus lying around to spark HUGE fires.

And blame those that have fought to stop animals from grazing some of this land in California because “it’s better for the environment.” The fire load increases dramatically without animals grazing the land. But sit up on your high horse sipping your organic vegan soy Latte telling everyone you saved the planet.

'Methane-free' Big Mac recipe will help 'save the planet' from climate change​

So folks you go for years eating one hamburg a month to "save " the earth... Only to discover a forest fire ruined all your sacrifice . Mother nature rules us all... ... It has for millions of years. No matter what feeble attempts man had made to correct our mother earth

And how many years wiped out by recent volcanic eruptions??? Add to it the lack of pollution control in industrialized China!

Biggest joke going...

Let's go electric when the entire world relies upon ICE and other petroleum energy sources! Good job!

Eating lunch and looking out the kitchen window I noticed how much my burn barrel is smoking. Their feeble attempts are useless because I'm a polluting moe foe.

I'm not going to say what I do with my used motor oil.
I'll just say it goes back to where it generally came from in the first place.

Cali should clean up the hazardous waste peculating out of the ground .. La Brea Tar Pits ...

or use it to make electric LOL ..
