The Science Behind Wildfire Smoke

If you're under a cloud on a super sunny day, you immediately feel better and cooler when that cloud is overhead. The other way is that those darker particles, the black soot, those are things that readily absorb radiation from the sun, which means when the sun goes down, they can also readmit radiation. that radiation back into our atmosphere.

And that's what contributes to that, the global warming effect, the greenhouse gas effect that is so important for climate change. So that's one way that the aerosols play into it. Right.

Unfortunately, yeah. So as those particles that are released from biomass burning may impact climate and climate continues to change, which could lead to more fires and so forth, you just get that feedback where it just continues down the wrong path rather than trying to correct itself or balance itself out.

I hope so. I mean, there's many different really visual ways of seeing climate change with our own eyes. I mean, from the rising sea levels and daytime flooding that's happening in some of the coastal cities to the amount of runoff that you see. On the Greenland ice sheet to these huge, you know, ice shelves cleaving off of Antarctica. I mean, the signs are all around.

The biomass burning is certainly one that impacts, you know, a large community of people out west. And as you mentioned, it's a very... visceral response and then with climate change, you know, you often hear of global warming and of course fires represent that heat. And so that's certainly a connection there as well.

And so, you know, I can only hope that people start to think about how much their lives will be changed as our climate continues to change and get warmer.
