Wildfires





As the temperatures continue to rise, dry lands are more prone to wildfires. Due to a long summer that created arid conditions, More than 3.500 fires destroyed significant areas from Southeastern Europe in 2007. This scenario is mostly linked to climate change and the greenhouse effect.

Among with deforestation, carbon dioxide (CO2) and the so called "black carbon" released by these fires help to the air pollution.

  1. It saddens me that alot of wildlife ( animals like bears, deers, rabbits, ect.) are destroyed during wildfires. The animals that surivive the fire then have to find a way to adapt or move onto another area to continue to surivive or die. Global warming effects all forms of life.
