Praire Wildfires, The Cause For Rising Carbon

*Note: This is not of high importance to Canadian politics, but I still found it appropriate for my blog.

The boreal forests in Northern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have now become a source of greenhouse gases. These forests that were once the largest storehouses of carbon on earth are now giving off greenhouse gases.
With the increase of wildfires in the boreal forests it has caused a rise in CO2 going into the atmosphere and therefore contributing to global warming.

Not only are the boreal forests no longer storing as much carbon as they once did but, niether is the ocean claimed by scientists.
With the hotter and drier summers and lower winter snowpack in Canada, these wildfires will continue to burn each summer and burn down millions of hectares of trees.

Fire activity in the boreal forests has more than doubled since the 1970's in Canada and climate change is now here!
