This year, climate change was added on how many ‘risky heat’ in our summer

Did it feel like an unusually warm heat? This year, thanks to climate change, Canadians experienced a lot of days to risk their health. A new analysis is actually how much is counted.

A Report released on Wednesday From June to August, the average Canadian experienced 13 additional “risky heat” days, thanks to climate change, shown by the non-profit group Climate Central.

The analysis defines days when the temperature is over 90 percent of the local temperature between 1991 and 2020.

The organization research and reports on climate change effects and solutions, and makes such summer heat analysis twice a year for cities around the world. The global report found that many areas of the world were much worse than Canada, with 955 million people worldwide experience 30 days or more in addition to “risky heat” due to climate change.

Accurate “risky heat” temperature may vary widely between cities that normally have cooler summer, such as Vancouver, and those who are usually hotter summer, such as Windsor, Onts. The threshold occurs when weak adults such as weak adults begin to experience health problems, Christina Dahl said, the vice president of science for science, as people suit their local environment.

The heat waves of this summer were fatal in both in Canada And in Europe, where a recent study is estimated that 1,500 people killed in a summer wave between June 23 and July 2,

Dahl said that summer waves can also cause indirect risk, such as smoke from wildfire. The smoke pollutes the wind, “that is associated with the deaths that occur before time,” she said. “The reality is that increased temperatures play in many, many ways.”

This year was from Canada Second worst wildfire season On record. A recent study estimates that Canadian forest fire smoke 82,000 premature deaths occurred in 2023,

There are some excessive summer days every summer. But what will be expected without climate change to compare this year’s temperature without climate change, new analysis shows how much “risky heat” days occur in the country and the world. Despite the fact that average global temperature has increased Only about 1.4 C since pre -east time,

‘A reality of the near future’

Environment Canada too A fast analysis released on Wednesday 12 summer waves in Canada in this summer. For 11 of them – in the west and in Quebec – it was found that the heat waves of that magnitude were likely to double due to climate change. From 7 to 14 August, the Atlantic Canada was 10 times more likely to have a heat wave, like The Last Forest, climate change.

Hosin Banacadari, an associate professor at Civil Engineering at Ottawa University, says the message is clear.

“Climate change is re -shaping daily weather obstacles in Canada, and people feel it directly through excessive heat,” he said.

To study the risks of climate change, Bonkadari, who uses AI, says that his model suggests that, in 20 years, the average temperature in Canada will be 1.8 to 3.2 C hotter, as they would be without climate change.

“This is a reality of the near future,” he said. “I’m not talking about the end of the century right now. I am talking about the next 20 years and we need to be ready.”

Jennifer Wanos, an associate professor at the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University, says that many people are already experiencing excessive heat.

“We really need to start changes only to worry about the future,” he said.

This may involve providing air conditioning more, including policies to ensure that people with external jobs can get out of the heat, and to help community services in dangerous conditions due to heat, she says.

Dahl agrees that the report shows that climate change is no longer a future threat, and suggests that more efforts are required to cut fossil fuel emissions.

“Every delay in reducing emissions means that more community, ecosystems and economies will be damaged,” he said.
