62% chance of El Nino in the next few months and an 80% chance of El Nino conditions by fall

After examining 2700 studies on vulnerability, resilience, and adaptation, we found that 90% do not explicitly articulate their theoretical foundations. We seem to spin in circles by conducting analyses with incommensurable and inconsistent findings 1/5🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Important piece! 👇 "federal per capita investment in adaptation in the U.S. is roughly 3-4x that of Canada. As lopsided as this may sound, there is another wrinkle. Canada is warming at 3x the rate of the U.S." Climate Proof Canada @CAPE-ACME theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

🔴 STORY: BC's River Forecast Centre has issued an alarming & bleak drought prediction We are in an 'outlier' season: In many places the snow is gone a month earlier than normal. And it's been so hot and dry, it's hard to predict what will happen next. fvcurrent.com/p/bc-snowpack-…

"There was talk that we didn't see this coming this year. Well, you shouldn't think in those terms," Gray said. "This could happen any year — and worse." cbc.ca/news/science/c…

1/ In 2021, wildfires in the country’s managed forest areas produced 293 Mt of GHG's. During the same period, forests only removed 540,000 tons. The resulting 292 Mt are equivalent to 40% of Canada’s GHG emissions from every other source that year. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

We looked at the health costs of the June 4 to 8 wildfires. We linked changes in air quality in Ontario to health outcomes. Costs were an estimated $1.28 billion in one province alone, over a single week. Seton Stiebert welburnconsulting.ca Canadian Climate Institute climateinstitute.ca/with-the-fores…

🇨🇦 "has committed $1.6 billion over several years to new or expanded programs.... this only keeps federal adaptation funding at current levels because other programs are ending.

The Ministry of Housing proposed adding a max indoor temp "of not more than 26°C" to the BC building code. But CC isn't included in the proposal: "designers are permitted to use historical climate data." I.e. a 26°C design will be more like 30°C. www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/far…

Severe weather in Northern B.C. and Yukon possible this week. And the risk is amplified when there is no weather radar in the region. It is critical that 🇨🇦 expand radar coverage as climate change increases severe wx in the North.

Now this is getting to be crazily bad. #climate
