This animation shows CO2 impact of unprecedented wildfires in Siberia and Alaska
An unprecedented number wildfires in Siberia and Alaska in recent weeks have been pouring carbon dioxide into the sky.
It means the blazes in the Arctic region have not only been partly caused by global warming but are a contributing factor to it too.
The animation in the video player above, shared with Euronews by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF), shows CO2 concentrations from July 10-25.
We can see strong concentrations in northern Siberia and Alaska, where the forest fires have been reported.
