Canadian media strongly links wildfires to climate change, analysis finds

A review of Canadian media coverage found that nearly 40 per cent of all stories mentioned climate change, while more than 30 per cent explicitly connected the wildfires to it. Opinion pieces went further: almost 78 per cent mentioned climate change, and about 65 per cent drew an explicit link to the fires. The figures point to a broadly accepted connection between the wildfire crisis and a warming climate in Canadian newsrooms.

Why now: Canadian wildfires are dominating the news and prompting analysis of how media frame their causes.
