MAMMOTH LAKES, CA - JULY 28: An aerial view of a forest killed by carbon dioxide near drought-shrunken Horseshoe Lake which may again release deadly levels of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, on July 28, 2022 near Mammoth Lakes, California. During a series of earthquakes in 1989 and 1990, magma movement opened underground cracks that began releasing Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas that killed a nearby section of forest. The invisible, odorless and tasteless gas is heavier than air and tends to settle over the lake and in snow, and could quickly prove deadly to humans in large amounts. The overwhelming majority of climate-effecting greenhouse gas emissions by humans is carbon dioxide. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

This aerial picture taken from an airplane on July 27, 2021, shows the smoke rising from a forest fire outside the village of Berdigestyakh, in the republic of Sakha, Siberia. - Russia is plagued by widespread forest fires, with the Sakha-Yakutia region in Siberia being the worst affected. According to many scientists, Russia -- especially its Siberian and Arctic regions -- is among the countries most exposed to climate change. The country has set numerous records in recent years and in June 2020 registered 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) in the town of Verkhoyansk -- the highest temperature recorded above the Arctic circle since measurements began.
