Van der Werf estimates that Indonesia’s fires have released 1.64 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent into the atmosphere since the beginning of the year. The vast majority of those emissions have come since early September, when the impact of the regional El Nino-driven drought began to take hold. For the past two months, the rate of emissions from the fires have outpaced emissions from the entire U.S. economy, when measured on a daily basis.
