Climate change can also be used more broadly to include changes to the climate that have happened throughout Earth's history. [32] Global warming—used as early as 1975 [33] —became the more popular term after NASA climate scientist James Hansen used it in his 1988 testimony in the U.S. Senate. [34] Since the 2000s, climate change has ...
The Norwegian-Russian border and Belarus–Poland border are the only places where CET (UTC+1) borders Moscow time , resulting in a one (or two in winter) hour time change when crossing that border. There is a "tri-zone" point (where UTC+01:00 , UTC+02:00 , and UTC+03:00 meet) at the Norway-Finland-Russia tripoint , near the town of Rayakoski .
In Victoria, the annual average temperature is 11.2 °C (52.2 °F), the warmest in Canada. [ 8 ] Due to the blocking presence of successive mountain ranges, the climate of some of the interior valleys of the province is semi-arid with certain locations receiving less than 300 mm (12 in) in annual precipitation.
In 2020, research estimated if warming stabilizes at 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), 2 °C (3.6 °F) or 3 °C (5.4 °F) by 2100; in all three cases, the AMOC declines for an additional 5–10 years after the temperature rise ceases but does not approach collapse, and partially recovers after about 150 years.
The future of the permafrost is uncertain because the Arctic has been warming at three times the global average as a result of climate change in Canada. [129] Canada's annual average temperature over land has risen by 1.7 °C (3.1 °F), with changes ranging from 1.1 to 2.3 °C (2.0 to 4.1 °F) in various regions, since 1948. [117]
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Csc : Cold-summer Mediterranean climates Cold summer Mediterranean climates ( Csc ) exist in high-elevation areas adjacent to coastal Csb climate areas, where the strong maritime influence prevents the average winter monthly temperature from dropping below 0 °C (32 °F).
