A new study from UC Berkeley indicates that climate models may significantly underestimate carbon emissions from wildfires in boreal forests due to overlooked peat soil burning. Researchers analyzed 2018 wildfires in Sweden and found that smoldering underground fires release ancient carbon stored for centuries. This discrepancy highlights potential gaps in global emission estimates, especially in vast regions like Siberia and Canada.

A recent study in Science Advances has found that the number of days with conditions ideal for extreme wildfires—combining heat, drought, and wind—has nearly tripled globally in the past 45 years. This increase, driven largely by human-caused climate change, is most notable in the Americas and involves more frequent simultaneous risks across regions. The findings highlight challenges for firefighting resources and underscore the need for homeowner preparedness.
