#ClimateChange:
"First, the #fires in #boreal regions become more intense, and, because of the tremendous heat being generated, #peat, which has stored carbon for thousands of years, can start to burn and contribute massive amounts of carbon to the air.
That carbon will take at least another 1,000 years to go back into the peat.
Second, in boreal regions, fires can thaw #permafrost, beginning a cascade of microbial processes that may also generate #GreenhouseGases"

#Costco sells a billion rolls of toilet paper each year. It's the company's best-selling item. Stacked on top of each other, those rolls would soar to heights of 300 million feet -- the same as 240,000 Empire State Buildings.
But those rolls don't come from thin air. They're chopped from the #boreal and flushed away to infinity.

#EnvironmentalAction is urging the company to start by committing to cut the amount of virgin wood fibers in its tissue products in half by 2025.
Nothing we use for a few minutes should lead to the destruction of something as timeless and priceless as North America's #boreal #forest.

As the #boreal 's billions of #trees breathe in #CarbonDioxide and breathe out #oxygen, the forest rivals the #Amazon for its role in cooling our overheated #planet. 🌳

The #Cree community is near the #JamesBay coast and surrounded by the #boreal forest and peatlands.
Community members shared photos and videos on social media of massive smoke plumes above the forest's edge, with the low-lying #peatlands nearby.

In #ecosystems "adapted to frequent or intense #wildfires, such as #boreal and #Mediterranean #forests, the growing occurrence of extreme wildfires has caused severe disruptions and hampered ecosystems’ natural #regeneration capacity [...] In the Russian Federation [...], the extent of forestland affected by wildfires increased over fivefold between 2001 and 2021" [3]
"Wildfires also increasingly occur where natural fire activity is rare, such as in #TropicalRainforests" [3]
