The deadly wildfires raging through Portugal have killed more than 60 people and created smoke clouds big enough to be seen from space. Is this the wave of the future? A new study finds that wildfires have tripled over the past 30 years in the Great Plains, putting a strain on local agencies.

The university says this revelation “clearly illustrates that Canada is ill-prepared to deal with the realities of climate change.”
