According to Environment Canada, Canadians need to be ready for more hurricanes and wildfires.
OTTAWA According to the federal government, heat waves and other extreme events, such as storms and fires, are becoming far more common due to human-caused climate change.
The quick extreme weather event attribution system developed by Environment and Climate Change Canada, which contrasts the current climate with that of pre-industrial times, suggests as much.
This month, there will be more wildfires from British Columbia to Manitoba, according to Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, and they will be fueled by climate change.
Across the nation, there are 474 active fires this time of year, down from almost 900 at this same time last year.
