One thing for sure is that the numerous wildfires will be contributing significantly to a feedback loop scenario in that they will be releasing huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, and that far north you have to wonder whether there is also an effect on permafrost loss which also releases methane. Another 'tipping point' reached in regard to the climate change process.
