VIDEO: Authorities Begin Evacuations in Canada Due to Forest Fires

Authorities in Canada have begun evacuations due to forest fires. This was reported by the BBC.

Canada is currently experiencing the worst forest fire season in the country’s history, with around 1,100 fires raging across the nation.

Experts cite an unusually hot and dry spring as a major cause of the numerous fires. Scientists believe that climate change is increasing the threat of hot and dry weather, which in turn can lead to multiple forest fires.

Media reports indicate that the air is thick with smoke in many residential areas, making it difficult for local residents to breathe.
