GATINEAU, QC, July 8, 2024
/CNW/ - Media representatives are advised that Environment and
Climate Change Canada will hold a media availability to release
recent results generated by its new Rapid Extreme Weather Event
Attribution system. Using this new system, they have analyzed the
heat wave that took place during the week of June 17 in Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic Provinces. The rapid
attribution results will show the degree to which human-caused
climate change affected the likelihood of this specific heat
wave.
Scientists specializing in climate research and meteorologists
will be briefing and addressing questions.
The media availability will be held via Zoom. Following the
briefing, media will have the opportunity to ask questions.
