It’s now estimated there’s a 60 per cent chance that El Niño will develop by the end of July, and an 80 per cent chance it will by the end of September. “We just had the eight warmest years on record, even though we had a cooling La Niña for the past three years and this acted as a temporary brake on global temperature increase. The development of an El Niño will most likely lead to a new spike in global heating and increase the chance of breaking temperature records,” said WMO Secretary-General Prof. Petteri Taalas.
The long-awaited changes to emergency laws, the first in three decades, are being driven by the devastating consequences of an increase in catastrophic floods, wildfires and extreme heat that B.C. has experienced in the past decade.
