Extreme weather and climate change

Environment Canada has issued warnings about an “incredible” subtropical storm bringing heavy rainfalls and flooding to coastal British Columbia. The Environment Agency in the United Kingdom is also warning of flooding as a “weather bomb” brings heavy rains to Scotland and the Northwest coast.
Damon Matthews, Concordia University Research Chair in Climate Science, can describe what is contributing to these extreme weather events.
