Environment and Climate Change Canada’s ‘Top Ten Weather Stories of 2021’ states last year’s “stories clearly demonstrate that Canadians across the country are experiencing unprecedented extreme weather, in the form of devastating flooding, widespread wildfires, relentless heatwaves, and powerful tornadoes. Scientists have made a clear link between climate change and more frequent and severe weather events” Hurricane Fiona was just the most recent example of a severe weather event wreaking havoc upon Canadians.
