Alaska is burning this year in ways rarely or ever seen, from the largest wildfire in a typically mainly fireproof southwest region to a pair of blazes that ripped through forests and produced smoke that blew hundreds of miles to the the Bering Sea community of Nome, where the normally crystal clear air was pushed into the extremely unhealthy category.

These massive forest fires must surely push a not immaterial amount of CO2 back into the atmospehre from the carbon that was neatly stored in the trees … kinda like we have gone unstable … more forest fires (Europe, Australia too) begetting more forest fires …

The EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (REDII), as proposed in July [2021] will continue to recognize the burning of wood pellets to make energy as a zero-emissions renewable energy source and a climate-friendly alternative to coal. REDII will also continue the much-disputed practice of not counting carbon emissions released to the atmosphere as Europe burns more than 30 million metric tons of pellets annually.
