The Arctic is on fire: climate change is fueling massive wildfires

Climate change in the Arctic is causing wildfires that release huge amounts of carbon. The epicenter of the crisis? Siberia. The Arctic is burning and with it our hopes for limiting climate change. As flames consume the Siberian tundra, scientists raise an alarm we can no longer ignore: the planet's thermometer has gone mad. At the center of this environmental emergency is the Republic of Sakha, located in the far north of Russia. According to data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), the region is experiencing extreme weather, with much warmer temperatures and drier conditions than normal for this time of year.
