‘Zombie Fires’ fuel sky-high carbon emissions in the Arctic – Digital Journal
“Zombie” wildfires that were smoldering beneath the Arctic ice all winter suddenly flared to life this summer when the snow and ice above it melted, new monitoring data reveals, making this summer’s wildfires the worst on record.
ZOMBIE FIRES: Wildfires in the Arctic Circle this summer once again broke records, surpassing last year’s carbon dioxide emissions.
Officials said the smoke plumes were so large, they covered the equivalent of more than one-third of Canada. https://t.co/uqeYWka6sq
