🔥 Human-caused climate change fuels mega-fires in the Arctic🔥

New research by #IMPRS-ESM doctoral candidate Lukas Fiedler and #MPIM researchers shows that the extreme fire years of 2019–2021 are due to human-caused climate change.

Using climate simulations, Fiedler et al. demonstrate that human emissions made these extreme fire years significantly more likely – up to 235x more likely in 2021!
