This -among climate change in general- is one of the reasons we launched the largest crowd sourced real time CO2 map. [1]<p>The main idea behind is to create more awareness on local and regional emissions like the wildfires in Canada as well as to generate public available data with a dense network of CO2 sensors for scientific research.

And many of those wildfires are criminal activity, so maybe the laws should be updated to include the carbon released on big provoked wildfires as an aggravant punishable. Boycotting the future of the humanity for money shouldn't be scott free
