From the 45 million acres scorched during Australias 2019-2020 fire season to the record amount of carbon dioxide released from wildfires in Siberia half of which burned on carbon-rich peatland wildfires have gone from contained burns folded into the cycles of landscapes to catastrophes that wreak havoc on the lives of humans ecosystems and economies. About 130 fires were burning across the state at the start. Australias landmassis nearly the size of the contiguous United States and fires this year have consumedsome 25 million acres.

From the beginning of September 2019 to February 23 2020 the Australian bushfires emitted 434 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This seasons bushfires in south-eastern Australia have killed at least 32 people and destroyed almost 2000 homes in New.
