Extreme heat will continue to affect Canada, but the negative impacts on the most vulnerable, including those living with mental illness, can be reduced by taking steps to ensure healthier cities.
Two weather and climate scientists explain what these two vital industries consider extreme, and how the impacts of any given extreme can vary greatly between sectors.
The ruling could be a legal game-changer for small island nations that are trying to hold developed nations to account for the impacts of their greenhouse gas emissions.
Water is very heavy – and it can move. Until now, changes to water on land have actually offset much of the rising sea level from ice melt. How? Gravity
