extreme weather

The impact of the COVID pandemic on the global supply chain has been widely reported. But extreme weather, from floods to wildfires, is increasingly hammering ports, highways, and factories worldwide, and experts warn these climate-induced disruptions will only get worse.

Climate change explained

A team of scientists in the U.S. and China decided to use an obscure weather measurement called equivalent potential temperature — or theta-e — that reflects “the moisture energy of the atmosphere.”

Climate change is already killing people, but countries don’t have an easy way to count the true mortality cost of carbon. A new project might change that.

An extreme weather researcher says it's not yet clear whether this year's floods and heat waves in British Columbia can be attributed to human-caused climate change.

As a transplanted British Columbian, Jesse Mason views the extreme and shifting weather patterns unfolding in his native province with a high level of concern.

This is not a game. Regarding climate change, that much is abundantly clear. Even at a few 10ths of a degree shy of the aspirational ceiling of 1.5 C of warming above pre-industrial levels, the often overwhelming impacts of extreme weather driven by the changing climate have hit hard in North America and beyond.

At some point, the reality of climate-driven inflation will become apparent to even the most stubborn observer, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Weather has always been unpredictable but with climate change, more communities will be subjected to extreme disasters more often. What was once-in-a-lifetime may happen once a decade, writes columnist Gerald Kutney.

As Canadian musicians, we are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the new Parliament to deliver a green and just recovery.

"This was a wake-up call, and we're probably going to need a few wake-up calls before we start getting ready for it," Peter MacGillivray said on Wednesday after two culverts on Highway 245 near his home in northern Nova Scotia were taken out by the latest storm.

Senior government officials in British Columbia warned residents on Saturday, November 20, 2021, to brace for another round of weekend rainstorms even as the death toll from floods triggered by the last round of extreme weather continued to rise.

Dozens of young Canadians are sounding the climate alarm in an open letter to Canadian politicians.

The young people involved in the UN’s official youth constituency group have published a list of policy demands months in the making and are trying to get in the ear of as many world leaders as possible at COP26.

It’s time for Ontario’s government to realize that the year is 2021, not 1950, writes Bruce F. Nagy.
