And biomass burning -- which occurs mainly as a result of tropical forest fires, deforestation, savannah and shrub fires -- emits large amounts of organic carbon particles that block solar radiation.

So cause short-time cooling.

Spain and Portugal are facing their third summer heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Celsius in some areas. This extreme heat fuels forest fires that have burned thousands of hectares of land and forced evacuations in both countries. The heatwave and the fires are linked to climate change, which increases the frequency and intensity of such events and poses serious threats to people, wildlife, and ecosystems. barrons.com/news/record-heat-w

crisis
In Canada, 20,000 people in a single city will have to flee the forest fires.
They are the refugees of climate change.
When will politicians around the world finally act?!
We are in the midst of a global refugee crisis caused by war and extreme weather events, caused by climate change.
It is now also hitting the western hemisphere with full force.
