Climate change intensified eastern Canadas hot, dry, windy weather this summer. That made Quebecs enormous burns about twice as likely, according to a new study.

(CNN) — The weather conditions that fueled record-shattering wildfires in eastern Canada earlier this summer – and sent plumes of hazardous air into the US – were made more likely

Record-breaking wildfires in eastern Canada was made at least two times more likely by human-caused climate change.

Climate change has made summers like the kind that led to Quebec's disastrous wildfire season at least seven times more likely to happen again, says a new scientific analysis. The study by the U.K.

Wildfires have occurred in almost every province and territory this summer and have burned more than 137,000 square kilometres – about twice the previous record set in 1995.

The weather conditions that fueled record-shattering wildfires in eastern Canada earlier this summer – and sent plumes of hazardous air into the US – were made more likely and more intense by the climate crisis, according to a new report published Tuesday.

Climate change has made summers like the kind that led to Quebec's disastrous wildfire season at least seven times more likely to happen again, says a new scientific analysis.

Published by the World Weather Attribution, an international collaboration of scientists who study how climate change and extreme weather events interact, the study also found climate change made the fire-prone weather about 20 to 50 per cent more intense.
