Abstract: Fire raisers The spate of forest fires in northern Russia has coincided with climate extremes, so unsurprisingly anthropogenic climate change has been suggested by some as a cause. A detailed survey of fires in the region confirms one word only of that phrase. Over 87% of the fires are ‘anthropogenic’, but are directly related to what humans do in forests, not mediated by climate.
