Is there any discussion around the extent of the macro climactic effect of many wildfires burning simultaneously around the globe? How much will these events contribute to warming?
Why do you think a small percentage increase on natural forest fires happening every year or so will have any kind of meaningful worldwide effect on temperature ?
Or, you could consider that earth climate has proven to be resistant enough to natural catastrophies for life to evolve for millions of years.
I’m not saying i’m right, but there’s no reason to have those huge headlines in news, as well as international threats to brazil just because this year’s fires are higher that last year ( but equal to those of a few years ago).
The Earth has never had a massive industrial human civilization on it until the last ~200 years.
Wildfires are a rapidly growing source of air pollution. The black + brown carbon aerosols from forest fires can heat the atmosphere significantly [1]. We've seen that emissions from forest fires can effect climate on a global scale.
Climate models attempt to account for heating due to forest fires. But, I'm curious if it's possible that we've underestimated the severity of forest fires in those models.
