Hello everyone, welcome back to the social talks. Today we will be talking about

Canada's wildfires that have already doubled smoke emissions records set last year
0:12
So EU's climate monitor tracks fire emissions as wildfires are expected to continue to burn for weeks or even months
0:20
Huge wildfires in Canada have already spout twice the smoke emission than the previous whole year record
0:26
The EU's climate monitor set on Thursday with the blazes expected to continue
0:30
to scorch their way through forests for weeks or even months. The devastating wildfires have burned some 30-centimeter acres this year so far
0:39
incinerating an area larger than the size of Cuba or South Korea
0:43
Enormous plumes of smoke have choked the air in Canada and neighboring United States
0:47
affecting more than 100 million people and at a time disturbing flights and forcing the cancellation of outdoor events
0:54
European Co-Perance's atmosphere monitoring service said it had tracked the fire since the season began at the start of May as the blazes coached across the large areas of the country As the end of July it said that the total carbon emission for the year to date have now reached double
1:11
that of the full annual smoke pollution from 2014, the previous record year
1:17
As fires emissions from rural regions typically peak at the end of July and early of August
1:22
the total is still likely to continue rising for more weeks and we will continue to monitor
1:27
While fires in the northern hemisphere, typically burned from May, to October, with peaks in July and August, coinciding with the hottest and driest months
1:35
of the year. This year has been widespread, record breaking fires across Canada as well as the large places
1:42
in Russia. Currently, the total wildfire carbon emission from Canada are around 290 mechatones, while
1:49
the previous records which was stirred in 2014 of 138 megatones set CAMS, whose records back
1:55
2003, Canada is among the fastest warming regions on the planet and climate change
2:00
has amplified both the intensity and the frequency of the extreme weather events based by the country
