Ice and Fire : Tracking Canada's Climate Crisis video / Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

Summary:

How does Canada measure up to the rest of the world when it comes to climate change? Have our wildfires become more dangerous over the past decade? Will our glaciers survive the 21st century?  Every month, the climate emergency brings dire headlines: the next 100-year flood, million-acre wildfire or supercharged hurricane. Ice and Fire: Tracking Canada's Climate Crisis shows that in the face of such radical transformation, measuring the true state of the planet is more than just good science - it's critical to our future on Earth.  As a northern nation, Canada is warming at twice the global average so we're among the first to see the direct impacts of climate change. Across the country, scientists are working furiously to precisely measure the effects of the changes, while employing armies of citizen scientists to help gather data. Original air date: January 28, 2022.
