Climate scientists say a warming planet is contributing to, and worsening, weather events
Scientists from World Weather Attribution say Canada's record wildfires were at least twice as probable due to human-caused climate change.
Months of hot and dry weather created the tinderbox-like conditions behind this year's record-breaking wildfires in Canada, leading scientists to point the finger at climate change.The team also identified the seven-day-stretch when fire weather conditions were at their highest, and found such peak conditions were more than twice as likely to occur than in the past, as a result of climate change.
