Experts Say Forests Could , Begin Emitting Carbon Dioxide.
CNN reports as wildfires become more common in the vast forests of Europe and North America, experts say they could begin releasing large amounts of planet-warming emissions.
A recent study finds that wildfires in
North America's boreal forests could
release nearly 12 gigatons of carbon emissions in the next three decades.

Experts say carbon emissions from
forests in the next thirty years will
equate to the annual equivalent of
2.6 billion fossil fuel-powered cars.

The boreal forests, also known as "taiga," are the world's largest most intact biome.

Its ecosystem makes up
one-third of all forests on Earth.
According to CNN, the boreal forests are heating at twice the rate of other parts of the world.
Experts say the boreal forests have become
the victim of their own climate change feedback loop. As wildfires increase temperatures, it
fuels more wildfires.

One of the challenging and interesting things about wildfires right now is that they are both driven by climate change and drivers of climate change. , Carly Phillips, author of study fellow of Union of Concerned
