SASKATOON –The world is changing rapidly, and the past is no longer a guide to the future in terms of extreme events and floods. That’s one of the findings from a report on the Changing Cold . . .
SASKATOON The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) is hoping to improve western and northern Canada climate change predictions. Findings from the Changing Cold Regions Network (CCRN) – a collaboration between several universities, led by the U of S – suggest that climate change is making future extreme weather events difficult to predict. These disasters, such as wildfires or floods, will likely become more common and more severe, according to U of S research associate Chris DeBeer, the science manager for CCRN. “These changes are happening and we’re coming into situations where we haven’t really experienced this in the past,” he said.
