OTTAWA — A new poll suggests more Canadians are feeling the direct impacts of extreme weather, but that has not changed overall opinions about climate change.
The results from a recent Leger poll suggest more than one in three Canadians have been touched directly by extreme weather such as forest fires, heat waves, floods or tornadoes.
Some places in Atlantic Canada have also been dealing with flooding in July from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. Across the country, a heat wave descended on large parts of British Columbia and Alberta in June and July and drought in both provinces has raised the fire risk substantially. Almost half of those polled in Atlantic Canada say they have been touched by extreme weather, up from less than one-third a year ago.
Despite all that, people who took the survey were less likely to be concerned about climate change now than in 2023.
