In 2023, Canada experienced its warmest and driest conditions in decades, leading to extreme forest fires that released approximately 640 million metric tons of carbon, akin to the annual emissions of a major industrialized nation.
This study, conducted by NASA using satellite data and advanced computing, highlights the significant environmental impact of these fires, which surpassed the fossil fuel emissions of countries like Russia and Japan for the entire year of 2022.
Record-Breaking Carbon Emissions From Canadian Wildfires
Stoked by Canada’s warmest and driest conditions in decades, extreme forest fires in 2023 released about 640 million metric tons of carbon, NASA scientists have found…

Metro Vancouver are going to heavily restrict fire places in homes in 2025 and will have a dedicated “bylaws” force to check on homes and demand hugely expensive remediation.The media spiel points to the great air pollution cussed by fireplaces but they add, the air quality indicators have been edited by not including the pollution caused by the massive forest fires in and around BC.This does nobody good as it fuels the “Conservative” agenda that climate change/global warming is not real and it is a ‘sort of’ left wing agenda.With the pollution output by fireplaces in homes minuscule when compared to the massive amounts of smoke and CO2 emitted by forest fires, I would think Metro Vancouver has better things to do than creating another level of bureaucracy to squeeze more tax monies from the taxpayer.Global warming and climate change are real, banning fireplaces in homes is small beer compared to what should be done and what should be done, the government is too cowardly to do.
