Washington, Nov 1 : Last week’s widespread fires in southern California is estimated to have emitted 7.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in just the one-week period of October 19 to 26.

According to Christine Wiedinmyer of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), who applied a computer model to analyse the emissions, 7.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide released during the fire is the equivalent of about 25 percent of the average monthly emissions from all fossil fuel burning throughout California.

“Enormous fires like this pump a large amount of carbon dioxide quickly into the atmosphere,” Wiedinmyer said, adding, “This can complicate efforts to understand our carbon budget and ultimately fight global warming.”
