And of course, peat is a fossil fuel (a precursor to coal), and burning it releases CO2. So this wildfire cycle is the equivalent of strip-mining all the Canadian peat deposits and involuntarily burning them, which further increases CO2 levels, which further raises global temperatures, which exposes even more feedback loops. This is why the IPCC was targeting 1.5C as a limit beyond which any further anthropogenic climate change needed to be avoided. At that point, natural feedback cycles kick in, which make it very difficult to halt climate change (regardless of what humans do) before hitting 4-5C in warming.
