Ein Kollaps der Meeresströmung sei wahrscheinlicher als bisher angenommen, so PIK-Forscher @rahmstorf.bsky.social. "Zwar erst nach 2100, aber der Prozess beginnt früher. Eigentlich ist der Kipppunkt in vielen Modellen in den nächsten 1-2 Jahrzehnten erreicht."

Map of Europe and their forest use. Very little (1%?) is not managed at all
Very cool paper!
It is shocking how few forest areas in Europe are not managed www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Another !brilliant idea to fund agenda of the current US administration.

Yes, of course, it's just that these spring fires start from burning grass in most cases, unlike later in the season, when dry thunderstorms have a huge impact. And there are also many cases of fires originating from logging cites, but Transbaikalia is just not really one of them.
Mostly open larch and birch forests, alternating with steppe or wetlands (in higher / more northern areas)
There's very little commercial logging in Transbaikalia since the forests have low tree density and are dominated by larch, less valuable compared to other Siberian tree species. The main cause of fires is locals setting fire to dry grass in these open woodlands out of negligence or stupidity :(
