@dailymail: As air pollution from Anak Krakatau volcanic eruption begins to subside, Indonesia is facing a surge in emissions from intense wildfires. Eruptions at Anak Krakatau on September 4 created ash towers of up to 50,000 feet (15 km) and forced authorities to shut down airports and ground thousands of aircraft. But as the ash is blown away and flights return to normal, wildfire haze is intensifying. Carbon emissions from the Indonesian fires from August 31 to September 6 reached 20.3 million tons, overtaking Russia and amounting to more than a third of the global total, according to Fire Emissions Watch. #indonesia #volcano #wildfire #news
