Fires and climate change

I've followed Castanet's reporting on the Okanagan fires. You provide good information for the general public. Thank you!

However, I am surprised that you haven't talked more about the connection between climate change and all these wildfires. We should be more aware that climate change is causing higher temperatures, which causes drier forest and grass, which improves the chances for fires.

These fires are happening all over the world, and many reports keep saying one of the main causes is climate change – and the whole situation will only get worse each year.

But neglect this critical connection and keep procrastinating on real, effective, actions to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
