In summer 2024, human-caused climate change nearly made all of Canada's most intense heat waves hotter, and more likely, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). With the recentnews that 2024 is likely to become the...
Canada is a very large country with a very sparse population. As one of the highest-latitude countries in the northern hemisphere, it is exposed to extreme effects of climate change. Many of these effects have an impact on air quality. Canada is also one of the world's largest economies,...
How does climate change affect Canada?Impacts of climate changeAs the earth experiences the effects of a changing climate, impacts such as extreme weather events in the form of droughts or flooding, rising ocean levels, warming land temperatures, and species migration can be viewed....
Bill Taylor of Environment Canada provided useful comments to an earlier draft. The Geological Survey of Canada provided the original impetus for this study in the form of a small consulting assignment on landslides and climate change along the Sea to Sky corridor....
I would say in Anglo countries like Canada and New Zealand and Australia, England but we don’t know the reason for it. It has resulted in achange in the recommendations to start colorectal cancer screening at 45 used to be 50. So that’s one policy reaction of the medical world to th...

Seafood is an important source of bioavailable micronutrients supporting human health, yet it is unclear how micronutrient production has changed in the past or how climate change will influence its availability. Here combining reconstructed fisheries databases and predictive models, we assess nutrient avai...
and Canada will experience climate changes through direct effects of local changes (e.g., temperature, precipitation and extreme weather events), as well as through indirect effects, transmitted among regions by interconnected economies and migrations of humans and other species. Variations in wealth ...
