320 million trees die each year from lightning, and climate change is making it worse

IndiaTimes Friday, 25 July 2025
Lightning strikes kill 320 million trees yearly worldwide. This causes significant carbon emissions, almost matching wildfires. The Amazon and Congo Basin are high-risk zones. Climate change increases lightning frequency, threatening forests in Canada, Russia, and the United States. These silent deaths impact biodiversity and climate stability. The loss equals 8,000 square kilometers of forest, an area larger than Sikkim.
