Canada is warming up faster than the rest of the world, according to a report commissioned by the Canadian Environment and Climate Change Department.The report -- titled "Canada's Changing Climate Report" -- says, on average, Canada's climate has been and will continue to warm at double the rate of global warming. The report also says since 1948, when records became available, Canada's average land temperature increased by 1.7 degrees Celsius (approximately 3 degrees Fahrenheit).Some of the key takeaways from the report included:The observed warming of Canadian temperatures are due to "human influence."There has been more rain than snowfall in Canada since 1948, a trend that looks to continue over the 21st century.Temperature extremes have changed in Canada, meaning extreme warm temperatures are getting hotter and extreme cold is becoming less cold.Extreme hot temperatures will become more frequent and intense.Over the last 30 years, the amount of snow-covered land has decreased in Canada.Flooding is expected to increase in Canada because of sea-level rise.Freshwater shortages in the summer are expected because warmer summers will increase the evaporation of surface water.Michael Mann, a distinguished professor of atmospheric science at Penn State University, told CNN that the report confirms what's already known, "North America, and especially Canada, is seeing even more rapid warming than the planet on the whole, and the impacts are now readily apparent.""In the case of Canada, climate change threatens its very identity, melting its glaciers and ice, shortening its iconic winters by turning snowfall into rain, and flooding its beautiful coastlines," Mann said. "This latest report drives home the fact that climate change is a dire threat now, and if we don't act to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, that threat will only worsen with time."Katharine Hayhoe, director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University, said climate change matters because "it affects us here and now.""Warmer conditions bring summer heat waves, record-breaking floods and wildfires, sea level rise, permafrost thaw, invasive species, and a host of other impacts we're not prepared for," Hayhoe said. "Understanding how climate is changing in the places where we live and what this means for our future is key to ensuring our future is better, not worse than, today."Similar to Canada, US researchers also warned of the affects of climate change.In November, the US Global Change Research Program released a report saying the economy could lose hundreds of billions of dollars -- or, in the worst-case scenario, more than 10% of its gross domestic product (GDP) -- by the end of the century."The global average temperature is much higher and is rising more rapidly than anything modern civilization has experienced, and this warming trend can only be explained by human activities," said David Easterling, director of the Technical Support Unit at the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.Without significant reductions in greenhouse emissions, the annual average global temperature could increase 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 Celsius) or more by the end of this century, compared with preindustrial temperatures, the report says.One of the impacts of climate change in the US, the report says, is that the Midwestern part of the US is predicted to have the largest increase in extreme temperature and will see an additional 2,000 premature deaths per year by 2090.The report also says more people will be exposed to more foodborne and waterborne diseases, particularly children, the elderly, the poor and communities of color. 3670

Bindi Irwin, the 21-year-old daughter of late conservationist and TV personality Steve Irwin, married her fiance Wednesday evening in a ceremony at the Australia Zoo in Queensland.Irwin confirmed her marriage to 23-year-old Chandler Powell in an Instagram post.In her post, Irwin said that the couple had planned a larger wedding for more than a year but decided to scale back to a small ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic."This was a very difficult decision but important to keep everyone safe. We wish all of our friends and family could have been there with us, however it's lovely that we will be able to share photos and videos," Irwin wrote. "Right now we're encouraging the world to hold onto hope and love, which will carry us forward during this profound time in history."According to CNN, Irwin's family owns and lives at the zoo — which was started by her grandparents in the 1970s — so her parents were able to attend, even though the zoo remains locked down.Irwin was six years old when her father was killed by a stingray while filming his show, "The Crocodile Hunter." When she was nine, she starred in her own show in Australia, "Bindi the Jungle Girl." In 2015, she won season 21 of "Dancing with the Stars." 1241

Apple is turning it up to 11.Apple officially unveiled its new iPhone lineup at a closely watched media event at its Cupertino, California, headquarters on Tuesday. The updated models include the iPhone 11, with a more affordable price tag, and the higher-end iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max models feature an improved camera system, with three cameras on the back of the phone, and better battery life than previous models. Apple says the iPhone 11 Pro will last four hours longer than the iPhone XS and the iPhone 11 Pro Max will last five hours longer than the iPhone XS Max.Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, called the Pro models "the most powerful and most advanced iPhones we have ever built, with a stunning design."The company also unveiled a new seventh generation iPad at the event Tuesday, with a larger 10.2-inch retina display and a price tag starting at 9. The previous model had a 9.7-inch screen. And it announced the Apple Watch Series 5, an updated version of its smartwatch with an always-on display. With this feature, the watch face is always visible, rather than requiring the user to raise his or her wrist.The Series 5 watch starts at 9, or 9 with cellular. The Series 3, an earlier version, will now retail for just 9.Apple kicked off the event by focusing on its premium subscription services, a product area it is increasingly betting on to grow revenue and offset sales declines in its core iPhone business.Apple unveiled pricing and additional details for Apple Arcade, its gaming subscription product, and Apple TV+, a new streaming service for original shows and movies. Apple Arcade and Apple TV+ will each cost .99 a month.At a time when some of its competitors are launching innovative but riskier concepts, such as Samsung's foldable smartphone and its two 1850

California is fining the nation’s largest pharmacy health care provider a record .6 million for failing to redeem deposits on bottles and cans at some of its locations, regulators said Monday.The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, better known as CalRecycle, said its investigation found that 81 of CVS Pharmacy’s 848 retail stores in California refused to redeem the recyclables or pay a required 0 daily fee as an alternative.CalRecycle filed the enforcement action last week, and CVS can seek a hearing if it wants to contest the fine. Department spokesman Lance Klug said it’s the largest enforcement action ever against a retailer for failing to redeem recyclables.The company “is committed to contributing to healthier, more sustainable communities and we are currently reviewing the state of California’s filing,” spokesman Mike DeAngelis said in an email.One of CalRecycle’s most vocal critics praised the department’s action as a good first step to helping prop up the recycling industry. The industry has faltered due to a drop in value for scrap metal and aluminum and as other countries, particularly China, have become more picky in the types of waste they will buy from the United States.The vast majority of nearly 4,000 beverage retailers have agreed to redeem bottles and cans if consumers can’t find another convenient recycler. But Consumer Watchdog estimated from limited data that half to two-thirds of those retailers may be refusing to do so.“They’ve fined before, but they haven’t done it regularly or a lot,” Consumer Watchdog advocate Liza Tucker said of state regulators. “They’re sending a signal that it isn’t business as unusual, we’re really going to apply fines that are bigger than in the past.”Even for the pharmacy giant, .6 million “is enough to get CVS’ attention and enough to get the attention of the entire retail community,” Tucker said. “This is the wake-up call.”The enforcement action seeks to recover .8 million in 0-a-day fees that the 81 stores failed to pay by the end of October, and another .8 million in civil penalties. The total fine is a state record against retailers that are supposed to redeem cans and bottles.Jared Blumenfeld, California’s secretary for Environmental Protection, said in a statement that the goal is to send a message that the state “will hold retailers accountable for refunding consumers their nickel and dime recycling deposits.”California is one of 10 states with a deposit-refund system for beverage containers. Consumers pay an extra 5 cents for bottles up to 24 ounces (709.76 milliliters) and 10 cents for bottles more than 24 ounces.They’re supposed to get that money back by recycling the bottle or can once they are finished with it. But Consumer Watchdog said more consumers are throwing them away because they can’t find a convenient recycling location.More than half the state’s recycling centers have closed in the last five years, according to an analysis of state data by the Container Recycling Institute, though CalRecycle says about 1,200 remain.State subsidies to recyclers have increased each of the last four years, including 6 million last year. It’s devoting another million this year to aid recycling centers and spur projects like using mobile redemption centers in areas with high rents and community opposition to permanent recycling centers.CalRecycle Director Scott Smithline, who is retiring at year’s end, said the fine is part of agency actions that includes intensified inspections. Klug, the department spokesman, said that has included 2,180 inspections since August, with a priority on retailers who have had the largest number of violations and penalties owed. 3732
