it is to measure the depth of snow? it s not quite as simple as you might think. i take a look at that later in the programme. now to the part of the world where weather extremes reached a new level in 2021. british columbia in western canada. in november, record rain as an atmospheric river of moisture from the pacific brought flash flooding to the same areas that only a few months earlier were in the grip of an historic heatwave. it s coming this way fast. let s get out of here. the fires that followed that heatwave had catastrophic consequences for lytton, the town that set a new canada temperature record of 49.6 celsius. speaking at the cop 26 climate conference in november, canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau said this should be an example to the world. in canada, there was a town called lytton. i say was, because onjune 30th it burned to the ground. canada is warming on average twice as quickly as the rest of the world. and in our north it s

it provides a good run down to the base station. thank you so much for showing us your operations here. have you ever wondered how easy it is to measure the depth of snow? it s not quite as simple as you might think. i take a look at that later in the programme. now to the part of the world where weather extremes reached a new level in 2021. british columbia in western canada. in november, record rain as an atmospheric river of moisture from the pacific brought flash flooding to the same areas that only a few months earlier were in the grip of an historic heatwave. it s coming this way fast. let s get out of here. the fires that followed that heatwave had catastrophic consequences for lytton, the town that set a new canada temperature record of 49.6 celsius. speaking at the cop 26 climate conference in november, canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau said this should be an example to the world. in canada, there was a town called lytton. i say was, because onjune 30th
an example to the world. in canada, there was a town called lytton. i say was, because onjune 30th it burned to the ground. canada is warming on average twice as quickly as the rest of the world. and in our north it s three times quicker. the science is clear. we must do more and faster. there s certainly an element of, you know, british columbia got very unlucky this year with the number of extreme events that have happened. but for me, these extremes are exactly what climate scientists have been warning us about. exactly as you said, hot extremes are going to become hotter. and wet extremes are going to become wetter. so, this is what climate change looks like. and so, yeah, i think this is a really important message to the world. this is why climate change is important. it s not because each average day becomes a little bit warmer.
