Being from British Columbia, of course, we have what we hope is not a new reality. I live in an area that people come to from all over the world to see: the Rocky Mountains and the Purcells and the Selkirks. By mid-summer, you can't see any of them because of the forest fires. It is estimated that over 200 megatonnes of CO2 are put into the atmosphere as a result of these fires.
How are emissions from things like forest fires and other climate-related events that result in significant emissions dealt with in reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change? Are they accounted for?
