Scientists say climate policies may not be enough to undo damage caused by wildfires

The video discusses the release of carbon during and after forest fires. Initially, only 15% of carbon is released, while the rest is emitted over time as trees decay. This ongoing release contains more harmful compounds. Future fires on previously burned land could exacerbate the situation, leading to increased environmental risks.

What warning does the study give regarding future fires?

How does previously burned land affect future carbon release?
