To be fair, the article leaves out the size of the areas affected by the wildfires; however, it does proffer a guesstimation in the potential damage as a byproduct of the fires: >The fires have been releasing a large amount of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of 228 megatonnes so far this year, according to Cams, the highest since 2010. In units the Americans would be familiar with, that would be roughly 461,608,800,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. (1 tonne = ~2024.6 pounds, according to Wikipedia[0]).
