"The worst fire season in Canada – in 2021 – is estimated to have caused direct emissions of 290 million tons of carbon-dioxide equivalent. This is about 43% of the emissions from all other sectors in Canada – only – in 2021."
This year is three times as bad. The fires could be slamming the annual Keeling variation enough for me to have noticed. Mystery solved. News articles are big on pointing out that the contribution of wildfires is far less than CO2 generated by humans. That amounts to a distortion of facts. Humans bad, nature good. That story.
The wildfire CO2 is not coming out of the atmosphere any faster than the CO2 that people put there. Bad news.
The fires are another brick in the wall.
I expect the step to almost 0.8% annual variation to persist until a year has passed. Then it will fall back to the human generated rate of 0.6% or so.
