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.
"Fire weather risk is increasing due to climate change," said Dorothy Heinrich, one of the report's 17 co-authors."Adaptation strategies are going to be required to reduce the drivers of risk and decrease their impacts." Attribution science works by comparing climate models. One set of models uses data drawn from actual records while another, otherwise identical, is constructed with the influence of greenhouse gases removed.
"All components of the fire-weather index, when averaged at the national scale, set record values and sometimes by huge margins," says the report.Yan Boulanger, co-author and scientist for the Canadian Forest Service, said it's irrelevant to ask whether the fires were started by fire, accident or arson.
