Do Burning Trees Increase CO2 in the Atmosphere and Contribute to Global Warming?
When forests burn, whether through wildfires or intentional deforestation, the flames unleash more than just heat. They release enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect and driving global warming. But why is this the case, and are all burning trees equally harmful? Let’s explore the science behind the relationship between burning trees and CO2 emissions.
