The #climate of #Canada, especially in the #Arctic, is warming at an incredible rate thought to be twice the rate of the rest of the world. Furthermore, the report suggests that many of the problems facing Canada’s climate are probably irreversible.
This latest #Global Warming report comes just after the Federal Government of Canada, imposed strict #carbon #taxes on four of Canada’s provinces, who have so far, have not implemented their plan for tackling #Climate Change and #Global Warming.
Along with #rising #temperatures, (Canada’s temperatures has increased by 1.7C since records commenced in 1948). Most affected it would appear will be the #Arctic #Ocean where they predict extensive ice-free periods, within a couple of decades.
The report goes onto explain that with rising temperatures comes rising sea levels, which when coupled with more intense rainstorms, will increase the risk of #flooding for both #coastal and #urban areas causing major #flooding, flooding which has already been felt in many parts of Canada.
Although the average temperature increase for Canada is said to be at least +1.7c, #Northern parts of Canada are facing even more significant challenges, both the Northern #Prairies and #British #Columbia have seen their temperatures increase by a staggering 2.3C and will continue to do so unless drastic changes are made by the said provinces and the Federal Government.
Authors note: While mother nature herself has contributed to these extraordinary events it has to be said, that human activities, have and will continue to have, a direct impact on everyone's lives not only in Canada but @Globally.
