Zombie fires drift from last summer into Arctic spring
Arctic scientists warn zombie fires smolder beneath snow and thawed peatlands as record warmth drives early detections in Siberia and Alaska. Observers note fires burning through winter, with satellite data indicating regional persistence and potential carbon feedback warming the Arctic further.

Global forests grow younger and shorter from warming and logging
A Science study shows rising temperatures, clear-cutting, wildfires, and insect outbreaks are causing global forests to age out and die faster, shrinking carbon storage. Old-growth forests over 140 years have declined 30 percent since 1900, and replanting stores less carbon due to new climate factors.
