According to the latest figures from the Global Wildfire Information System (2025), global CO2 emissions from wildfires have been steadily declining for over two decades.

In 2003, wildfires released more than 6 billion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. By 2024, that number had dropped to around 4 billion tonnes — a massive decrease that completely undercuts the crisis narrative.

The United States is near its lowest wildfire emissions in twenty years. Brazil, often cited in sensationalist Amazon fire headlines, shows a massive decline since the mid-2000s. Indonesia too, also used as a symbol of environmental devastation, has sharply reduced its wildfire output since its 2015 peak.
