Canadian Wildfires and U.S. Air Quality: Climate research suggests that heat and drought associated with global warming are major reasons behind the number of fires and their intensity.

I live in BC and wildfires are a part of life out here. That said, they’ve been getting larger and more frequent, especially over the last couple years. Now we have El Niño on the way too, I can only imagine how bad it will be next year.

It’s wild to me that people still refuse to make the connection between climate change and these events.
