   Siberian heat streak and Arctic temperature record virtually   
   'impossible' without global warming, study says   
      
   Research shows one the strongest links to global warming of any   
   extreme event yet investigated   
      
   In a stark new finding, a study shows that six straight months of   
   anomalously mild conditions in large parts of northern Siberia so far   
   this year, along with an Arctic temperature record of 100.4 degrees   
   (38 Celsius) that occurred in June, would have been virtually   
   impossible without human-induced global warming.   
      
   The study, released Wednesday by the World Weather Attribution   
   project, was produced through a collaboration between climate   
   researchers from multiple institutions in France, Germany, the   
   Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.   
      
   The researchers found that the prolonged January-to-June heat, which   
   has led to a record spike in wildfires across the Siberian Arctic, was   
   made at least 600 times as likely by human-caused climate change. This   
   led them to conclude such an event would be nearly impossible in the   
   absence of global warming.
