| Abstract | It is unequivocal that the global climate has been warming consistently over the past few decades. A global average temperature increase of 0.85°C was observed from the historical climate data for the past 130 years (IPCC, 2014). Locally, the temperature warming increase was more than double for the whole Canada and triple for the northern arctic latitudes (ECCC, 2016). The climate change has also been found to be associated with more frequent, longer and intense extreme events such as heat waves and droughts. At the global scale, an increase of the hot temperature extremes in summer and decrease of cold temperature extremes in winter were observed since 1950. |
