Canada will face lethal heat within a few decades

Most of Canada is warming (on average) at twice the global rate, according to climate researchers from the University of Waterloo. The researchers identified specific areas within Canada that are at highest risk for extreme temperatures: “Low-lying areas from the West Coast to the Rocky Mountains (British Columbia), the Prairies bordering the United States (southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) and north of Lake Erie through the St. Lawrence River Valley (southern Ontario and Quebec).” Toronto can expect very hot days — over 30C — to increase from a dozen each summer to more than 50 by 2051.
