Canadians are twice as likely to attribute climate change as the cause of recent extreme weather events rather than natural variations of weather patterns, according to a new poll by Nanos Research for CTV News.
According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, wildfires in Canada have burned more than 24 million acres so far in what’s been described as the worst wildfire season in Canadian history.The data also showed that only 43.3 per cent of respondents from the Prairies said they attribute extreme weather to climate change, while over 60 per cent of respondents from B.C., Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic regions cite climate change as the cause.
The survey also found that a majority of Canadians support establishing a national wildfire department, which would enable teams of firefighters to travel anywhere in the country to battles out-of-control flames.Access the latest Nanos polls and national survey results here
