The Government of Canada warned that climate change effects are already irreversible, citing the second edition of the Canada's Changing Climate Report. ^[1] The second edition of the Canada's Changing Climate Report, prepared by experts from federal agencies, universities and scientific centers, concludes that since 1970 Canada has warmed nearly twice as fast as the global average, and the Canadian Arctic three times faster. ^[2] The report states that human influence is the only explanation compatible with the observed changes, including more extreme heat waves, longer fire seasons, shorter snow and ice duration, warmer oceans and sea level rise. ^[3][5] The government of Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed its goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and said it has committed more than 2,100 million Canadian dollars (1,518 million US dollars) to implement the National Adaptation Strategy. ^[4]
