2021 HEAT DOME: CLIMATE CHANGE A new study suggests the deadly 2021 heat dome that hit B.C. and the U.S. Pacific Northwest was amplified by climate change and could become a once-in-10-year event if global temperatures aren’t kept below 2 C above the pre-industrial average. The study, which was published this month in the journal Nature Climate Change cites the interaction between factors, including climate change, atmospheric weather patterns and dry soils in the region as factors that allowed the heat wave to reach extreme levels. The heat dome, which hit western Canada and the U.S. at the end of June and beginning of July is believed to be responsible for more than 600 deaths, set national temperature records and preceded the fire that razed the community of Lytton to its foundations. /b> The world is rapidly barreling toward climate change tipping points. Floods, fires and heat waves are hitting with growing ferocity. There is, in Canada as elsewhere, a growing reality that adaptation is urgent and necessary.
