Climate change doubled chances of conditions that fueled record wildfire season in Canada: research

Climate change more than doubled the odds of so-called fire weather, the meteorological conditions that fuel the spread of wildfires, in eastern Canada, according to research published by World Weather Attribution Tuesday.

Researchers analyzed the conditions specifically in parts of Quebec that saw some of the worst fires this year, using the Fire Weather Index, a metric that combines factors including humidity, precipitation, temperatures and wind speed. They determined that climate change made the peak fire weather the region experienced in 2023 at least doubly likely.

Researchers further determined that climate change made fire season in Quebec from May through July about 50 percent more intense, as well as making similarly severe seasons seven times more likely. This year also saw an atypically low level of precipitation, along with the effects of higher temperatures and lower humidity that were compounded by anthropogenic warming.

Doubled.

I’m sure they know it’s 2.0020976 times more likely.

Very precise.

Why couldn't this climate change have happened 40-some years ago? I could have made a lot more money fighting fires.

“Doubled chances....” - eh?
Let’s see the math, oh change pushing dolts. Thus far, I’d give you a solid F on every one of your utterances - since none of them have proved true.
