    • News

British Columbia is still struggling with the fallout from record-breaking rains that caused floods and mudslides that killed six people and displaced thousands more. This, after the fatal heat dome of the summer, and the third worst fire season on record.

While experts say it’s impossible to determine whether this year’s extreme weather resulted directly from climate change, they will say climate change made these events worse.

Today, environmental journalist Arno Kopecky on how B.C. is experiencing so many of the big climate change issues of our time.
