Global temperatures last month were on par with a 2019 record, and \u201cexceptional warmth\u201d was recorded over Arctic Siberia, the EU\u2019s earth observation program Copernicus said, part of a trend scientists are calling a \u201cwarning cry\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) is also seeking to confirm reports of a temperature reading of more than 38\u00b0C in Siberia, which would be the highest temperature recorded north of the Arctic Circle. \u201cWhat is worrisome is that the Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the world,\u201d said Dr Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service. The exceptional heat has sapped moisture from the earth across the region\u2019s vast boreal forests and tundra, fanning wildfires that have intensified since mid-June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHigher temperatures and drier surface conditions are providing ideal conditions for these fires to burn and to persist for so long over such a large area,\u201d said Dr Mark Parrington, senior scientist at Copernicus. Wildfire carbon dioxide emissions from the region last month were an estimated 59 megatonnes, compared with 53 megatonnes last year, the EU said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/econews.com.au\/64783\/eu-data-reveals-siberian-temperatures-hit-june-record-fires-spread\/\">Econews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European Union (EU) data has shown temperatures in Arctic Siberia soared to a record average for June amid a heat wave that is stoking some&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31,76,40],"tags":[189,2707,4879,1410],"class_list":["post-16821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmental-news-en","category-recap-en","category-weben","tag-climate-change","tag-siberia","tag-wildfire","tag-wmo","wpcat-31-id","wpcat-76-id","wpcat-40-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rsz_vaulogo.jpg?fit=100%2C58&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16821"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16883,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16821\/revisions\/16883"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
