heat dome

On June 29, 350.org, along with partners and grassroots organizers across the country, is organizing to mark the one-year anniversary of the heat dome with a call to end climate delay in Canada.

A year after the heat dome event that killed billions of plants and animals in British Columbia, scientists say ecosystems are recovering, but could be transformed forever if such events become more frequent.

A two-stage heat response system will be introduced in British Columbia to help people and communities stay safe as temperatures rise and the threat of a deadly heat-related emergency increases.

British Columbia mayors whose communities were devastated by last year's flooding and wildfires want the federal government to deliver billions of dollars in promised funding as soon as possible.

Canada must do its part to bring down planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, but the country also needs to prepare for harsher consequences from climate change, the federal environment minister said Monday in the wake of a new United Nations report.

Most Canadians think clean energy is critical for Canada’s economy and its importance will only grow over time while the significance of oil and gas will recede, according to a poll released Thursday.

Columnist Seth Klein believes he has had a sneak peek at the B.C. government's Feb. 8 throne speech. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.

An extreme weather researcher says it's not yet clear whether this year's floods and heat waves in British Columbia can be attributed to human-caused climate change.

This is not a game. Regarding climate change, that much is abundantly clear. Even at a few 10ths of a degree shy of the aspirational ceiling of 1.5 C of warming above pre-industrial levels, the often overwhelming impacts of extreme weather driven by the changing climate have hit hard in North America and beyond.

The terrain is shifting on the climate emergency, writes Seth Klein.

After a devastating wildfire season that reduced towns to ash and a heat dome that killed hundreds, climate breakdown is again threatening British Columbians as torrential rain pummelled the province Monday causing landslides and floods that destroyed key infrastructure and took at least one life.

Reviewing the plan, it’s as if this summer’s deeply distressing smash-up against the climate emergency never happened, writes columnist Seth Klein.

The health impacts of climate change are rising globally, according to a new study, but a Canada-specific policy brief lays out three key areas that could be game-changers when it comes to the way climate change affects human health in the country.

The World Health Organization is calling on world leaders to phase out fossil fuels ahead of COP26 to help save millions of lives around the globe.

The British Columbia government's inadequate support during an extreme heat wave this summer "compounded risks" for people with disabilities and those who are older, says an independent international human rights group.
