As of this morning, there is a great way to view climate data online to take action on climate change. Check out Climate Data for a Resilient Canada
ClimateData.ca can be explored by location, climate variable, or human geography sector. As Dave Sauchyn, Director, Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative and Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Regina mentioned, choose minimum temperature in February and the highest emission scenario 1950s where the chinook plume can be seen in southwest Alberta, and how the warming has progressed from the north west to the east by toggling the time line to present time. The Climate Data maps also at a glance show the number and severity of extreme climate events, and the exponential changes in the last decade.
This climate change data map was announced at the Release of the Prairie Provinces chapter of Canada in a Changing Climate: Regional Perspectives Report put online by the International Institute for Sustainable Development IISD Sauchyn mentions to compile this document a number of professionals delved into published reports and examined climate change maps back to 1948.
It was very exciting that the Prairie Provinces chapter was to be released of the Regional Perspectives Report, followed by other regions, and the National Issues Report in 2021.
If you wish to see the webinar mentioned above it will be posted on the Prairies Regional Adaptation Collaborative web site (prairiesrac.com) where prairie residents, and world wide visitors can learn about the potential of the prairie basin as a worldwide climate change “hot spot.”
As we adapt to climate change, and the associated climate risks, we individually in communities need to follow the lead of IISD and “anticipate, cope and adapt.”

“The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. ” Wangari Maathai.
“The science of forestry arose from the recognition of a universal need. It embodies the spirit of service to mankind in attempting to provide a means of supplying forever a necessity of life and, in addition, ministering to man’s aesthetic tastes and recreational interests. Besides, the spiritual side of human nature needs the refreshing inspiration which comes from trees and woodlands. If a nations saves its trees, the trees will save the nation. And nations as well as tribes may be brought together in this great movement, based on the ideal of beautifying the world by the cultivation of one of God’s loveliest creatures – the tree.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker.
