PublicationsSpecial Reports
This report is an introduction to the science of climate change summarizing our understanding of the issue and the Canadian response. The report also examines the many possible impacts that a warmer climate will have on Canada and the World.
This report addresses some of the questions often posed by the public or arguments raised by skeptics about the science of climate change. Responses and explanations are based on fundamental, well-accepted principles of physics, or on related information from IPCC reports and in recent peer-reviewed scientific papers.
Projections for Canada's Climate Future CCD 00-01. This special report provides a summary of recent results from climate change experiments undertaken with the first version of the Canadian coupled climate model. It also describes how these results were achieved and discusses their credibility and limitations.
This CCD report examines whether or not there is any scientific basis for the popular perception that extreme weather events and related disasters are becoming more extreme and/or frequent, and considers what the science community can and cannot say about future risks of such events in a warmer world.
The Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) is at the forefront of climate change science, having brought together experts to focus on climate data and analysis, processes and modelling, and impacts and adaptation research. Some 100 MSC experts, along with their partners across the country, provide Canadians and their governments with up-to-date scientific information and advice on climate change.
Annual Reviews
2002 In Review: An Assessment of New Research Developments Relevant to the Science of Climate Change.
2001 In Review: An Assessment of New Research Developments Relevant to the Science of Climate Change.
A technical review of key scientific papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals in 2000.
This newsletters provides a case-by-case analysis of various types of unusual weather events that have occurred in Canada and elsewhere over the past 5 years, provides estimates of real economic and social costs or benefits of these events where available, and considers possible linkages to climate change.
This issue of the newsletter presents reviews of special IPCC reports on carbon sinks and on greenhouse gas emission scenarios, and of recent literature on anthropogenic radiative forcing. Presentation ResourcesThis collection of more than 280 graphics on the science and impacts of climate change (complete with annotations and references as appropriate) has been assimilated as a resource for those who wish to make related presentations to various audiences, or as information to simply use for their own purposes. The science within the graphics is current relative to December 2002. The collection has been sub-divided into sections. Users can select from these the graphics they need to make up their own presentations, and may modify them, providing such changes are consistent with current scientific understanding. A separate file provides a list of graphs included in each of the graphic files. These graphics are also available on CD-ROM by request to Patti.Edwards@ec.gc.ca. Archives
