The rapid extreme event attribution system is meant to help Canadians understand how climate change is affecting them, and will guide policymakers as they make important recovery decisions after disasters.
Scientists at Environment Canada are working on a system to quickly tell the public how much an extreme weather event was made worse by climate change, Glacier Media has learned.
The project is part of a larger federal effort to bring more transparency to the effects climate change is having on Canadians. Other projects to bring “locally-relevant information” to residents across the country include climatedata.ca, a climate portal that allows people to “access, visualize, and analyze climate data” and “tools to support adaptation planning,” a spokesperson for Environment and Climate Change Canada said.
Smaller Interior communities like Kamloops, Penticton, Creston and Vernon are also expected to reach similar temperatures. Making extreme event attribution a 'push and play' solution The science underpinning climate attribution has exploded over the past two decades. Whereas earlier attempts took up to a year to get results, in WWA's first attempt, it carried out the complex investigation within weeks of the heat wave. Since then, scientists working through the global initiative have published dozens of studies, attributing the impacts of climate change on hurricanes in the U.S., drought in East Africa, and typhoons in Japan.
