“Global carbon emissions from biomass burning fell to a record low in the first six months of this year. That is largely thanks to reduced burning in Asia and Africa, where more permanent forms of agriculture are supplanting traditional seasonal burning,” reports The Doomslayer. That is true in spite of big wildfires raging in Europe, Canada, Russia, and the United States. Carbon emissions from biomass burning hit a 24-year record low “for the first half of the year,””continuing the overall downward trend driven by reduced levels of seasonal biomass burning in tropical Africa.” “The largest contributors” to biomass burning “by continent” were “Africa and Asia with approximately 154 and 113 megatons of carbon respectively” so far this year.
