Carbon dioxide emissions from forest fires have increased by 60% globally since 2001, with significant contributions from the northern boreal forests. The study, led by Matthew Jones from the University of East Anglia, attributes this rise to climate change-induced factors such as fire-favorable weather and faster-growing woodlands.
