According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the frequency of severe weather events, such as heat waves and extreme rainfall, continues to increase worldwide. In order to help people understand why extreme weather events are happening at this particular point in time, scientists at ECCC have developed a system to quickly analyze how climate change affects the likelihood of heat waves by comparing two climates with different atmospheric compositions: The climate of the late 1800s, before major impacts of the Industrial Revolution and the climate of today.
"Extreme weather event attribution is the science of determining how much human-caused climate change influences specific extreme weather events. An extreme weather event is one that is unusual or unseasonal compared to historical data," according to ECCC scientists.
For example the ongoing heat wave in western Canada will be analyzed, as will others in the future, and compared to average temperatures in the past.
According to ECCC, scientists in Canada are becoming experts in the field of climate change. They are studying the link between climate change and extreme weather in order to help communities better prepare and adapt to future extreme weather patterns, planning for emergencies and protecting infrastructure.
