Copernicus schätzt, dass die Waldbrände in Portugal bereits die mit großem Abstand höchsten CO2-Emissionen für den September in den 22 Jahren des Datensatzes freigesetzt haben und voraussichtlich am Wochenende Spanien und Frankreich erreichen werden.

>The estimated total carbon emissions, used as an indicator for the strength of the fires, are 1.9 megatonnes of carbon up to 18 September, compared to the previous highest September total for Portugal of approximately 1 megatonne of carbon in 2003. CAMS global and European regional air quality forecasts show that the smoke plumes originating from these wildfires have been moving out towards the Atlantic but are predicted to recirculate across the northern Iberian Peninsula, through the Bay of Biscay towards western France in the coming days. It is important to note that rain forecast for the end of the week may help to extinguish or reduce the number of fires.

Yes…all these massive eucalyptus plantations really pay off….. /s.

And now we’re going to listen in the next weeks, “specialists” giving their opinion on primetime TV on why Eucalyptus are fine and great for the economy. Apparently every other country in europe is stupid by not plant those damned trees everywhere.

Portugal stop burning pls, u r 2 hot

*Laughs in yearly Greek wildfires*

Juste like Chernobyl’s radioactive cloud, this will stop right at the french borders
