Canada Faces Extreme Heat Surge, Rising Wildfire Risks
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Canada will face temperatures fifteen degrees hotter than normal this weekend. The unusual heat is expected to accelerate Arctic ice melt—raising sea levels and opening shipping routes—while also heightening wildfire risks in already drought-stricken areas. More than 500 wildfires are currently active, with the potential for even more outbreaks.
