In 2015, most countries, including Canada, signed on to the Paris Climate Agreement which set the objective of\u00a0\u201cholding the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing the limit of 1.5 C to significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Jan. 9, 2024, the European Union\u2019s Copernicus Climate Change Service (CCCS) announced that their\u00a0analysis confirmed that 2023 was the hottest year on record since 1850<\/a>, when humans began burning fossil fuels at a major scale. The global average temperature was 1.48 C warmer than pre-industrial levels and much warmer (0.17 C) than 2016, the previous warmest year.<\/p>\n

The map of surface air temperature anomalies around the globe, compared to the 1991\u20132020 average, shows large geographical variations and that some of the warmest areas are in Canada.<\/p>\n

Rising temperatures\"\"<\/h2>\n

Leading scientists are\u00a0predicting that 2024 will be even warmer<\/a>\u00a0as the global mean temperature continues to rise.<\/p>\n

These rising temperatures are leading to more extreme weather events that impact societies around the world and across Canada. The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane have continued to increase and reached record levels in 2023, reaching 419 parts-per-million (ppm) of carbon dioxide concentrations, which was 2.4 ppm higher than in 2022.<\/p>\n

\n

The CCCS also noted that, in 2023, many extreme events were recorded across the globe, including\u00a0heat waves<\/a>,\u00a0floods<\/a>,\u00a0droughts<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0wildfires<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 10, the World Economic Forum published its\u00a02024 Global Risks Report<\/a>, ranking global risks by severity over the next ten years. Extreme weather events are ranked to be the highest risk, leading to loss of human life, damage to ecosystems, destruction of property and\/or financial loss.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s unique climate<\/h2>\n

Climate warming is\u00a0not uniform due to a range of factors, including internal climate variability and regional variations<\/a>\u00a0in climate feedback and heat uptake.<\/p>\n

In general, warming has been strongest at high northern latitudes and stronger over land than oceans. Global average temperature is greatly influenced by the oceans, which cover about 70 per cent of the planet and have large heat capacity, so they warm much slower than land areas.<\/p>\n

Since Canada has a large land mass, much of which is located at high northern latitudes, warming across Canada has been about twice the global average and in the Canadian Arctic, the warming has been about three times higher. Loss of snow and sea ice reduces the reflectivity of the surface, resulting in stronger warming of ecosystems and increased absorption of solar radiation.<\/p>\n

\n

Surface temperatures are\u00a0highly linked to the temperatures in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth\u2019s atmosphere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The troposphere includes most of the clouds and weather and varies from 18\u201320 kilometres in depth at the equator to about six kilometres near the poles. This smaller depth in the Arctic can result in more warming due to the heat energy from solar radiation or other processes.<\/p>\n

Feedback processes<\/h2>\n

Enhanced warming for Canada as a whole, and for the Canadian Arctic in particular, is part of a climate phenomenon known as \u201cArctic amplification.\u201d The climate response to\u00a0radiative forcing<\/a>\u00a0from greenhouse gases is determined by subsequent processes and feedback within the climate system. Climate feedback in the Arctic enhance the warming from greenhouse gas forcing.<\/p>\n

Feedback mechanisms make different contributions to warming, depending on the region of the world. Snow and ice reflect considerable solar energy back to space. When warming melts snow and ice, this causes the now-darker surface to absorb more solar radiation and heat.<\/p>\n

Another issue is that atmospheric components radiate energy back to space, cooling the climate somewhat, but in the Arctic, this cooling effect is weaker and there is a relatively larger warming response at higher latitudes. Another factor is that in the Arctic, the increase in clouds enhances warming by trapping heat near the surface.<\/p>\n

Urgent action is needed<\/h2>\n

The enhanced rates of warming over Canada and the Canadian Arctic are due to a unique combination of feedback mechanisms.<\/p>\n

The year 2023 demonstrated the devastating impacts of the climate extremes that can and will occur in even the best case 1.5 C climate scenario hoped for by the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

Canada, and particularly our north, will warm much faster than the global mean. This reality should have the effect of motivating governments at all levels \u2014 and citizens \u2014 to reduce the historic complacency displayed by most governments around the world.<\/p>\n

The time is overdue to take comprehensive and strong actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to fully implement adaptation actions to make our societies and citizens less vulnerable and more resilient.<\/p>\n

Through\u00a0enabling communities across Canada to proactively advance climate resilience<\/a>\u00a0we can effectively reduce the risk of adverse climate impacts and prevent losses and damages during the extremes that a warming climate will bring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
