Explained simply
Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that can spread through forests and other areas of vegetation. Their likelihood and intensity depend on factors including heat, dry conditions, wind and the amount of burnable material.
Donald Trump is a US political figure, while Canada is a neighbouring country with large forested regions. Scientists study how climate change affects fire conditions, including by raising temperatures and increasing the risk of some periods of extreme dryness.
Wildfires can cross borders through smoke and affect people’s health, homes, wildlife and firefighting resources. Understanding their causes matters for assessing risks and planning how to reduce harm.
