What this entry found

  • WHO COULD READ IT

    seattletimes.com put this behind a wall. ottumwacourier.com, tribdem.com did not.

    • Recorded as served to a reader who was not signed in. Outlets have to be paid
    • what this changes is which account a reader could reach without paying.
  • ONLY ONE OUTLET HAD THIS

    ottumwacourier.com carried 5 details no other outlet reported.

    • The study was conducted by World Weather Attribution, a group of international scientists who examine extreme weather conditions to see if there are climate change fingerprints
    • The fire weather conditions in the Northwest Territories and northwestern Ontario, while unusual but not that rare, were still made twice as likely by global warming
    • The study found similarities to summer fires in France, but not nearly as clear a climate fingerprint as they calculated in Spanish fires, which scientists said were 20 times more likely because of climate change
    • The study, which was done so quickly it has not been peer reviewed yet, looked at weather conditions connected to large wildfires and the Canadian Index for those conditions, which are heat, lack of rain, humidity and wind
    • Researchers found the doubling of frequency when using scientifically accepted techniques to search for climate fingerprints, comparing current conditions to a world without human-caused global warming

Who could read this

  • seattletimes.com served a subscription wall to a reader who was not signed in.

What happened, for context

A study released Thursday found that human-caused climate change doubled the likelihood of the weather conditions that sparked Canada's summer wildfires. Fire and climate scientists countered Trump's criticism of Canadian fire management, pointing instead to U.S. historical greenhouse gas emissions.
