Canada has long suffered wildfires but this season was the worst on record, with fires in Quebec made much more likely due to climate change from burning fossil fuels, World Weather Attribution Group said.
They also looked at the fire weather conditions - influenced by temperature, wind, humidity and precipitation - when they were at their peak, which is when fires spread very rapidly, and found they were made twice as likely by climate change.
Dr Otto, also a senior lecturer at Imperial College London, said the key finding is climate change is a"really important driver" of the conditions that fuelled such fires.
