Human-driven climate crisis fuels Canada’s deadly wildfires, study finds
Matched: climate
Climate scientists have found that human-caused climate change made conditions behind Canada's current wildfires more than twice as likely to occur. Burning fossil fuels raised global temperatures, amplifying fire-prone weather in Ontario and the Northwest Territories. The blazes have forced town evacuations and sent harmful smoke across Canada and into the United States.
