Climate change as forecast has serious implications for forest fire management in both countries. A monthly analysis, using the Canadian GCM, showed an earlier start to the fire season, and significant increases in the area experiencing high to extreme fire danger in both Canada and Russia, particularly during June and July. Forecast seasonal fire weather severity was similar for the four GCMs, indicating large increases in the areal extent of extreme fire danger in both countries under a 2 × CO 2 climate scenario. Temperature and precipitation anomalies between 1 × CO 2 and 2 × CO 2 runs were combined with baseline observed weather data for both countries for the 1980–1989 period. In this study outputs from four current General Circulation Models (GCMs) were used to project forest fire danger levels in Canada and Russia under a warmer climate.
