For several days, Canada has been hit by a heatwave and several fires have occurred in the country. Engineer and specialist in climate and energy policies, Cyrille Cormier recalls on the 23 hours of Franceinfo on Friday July 2 that “what is happening there is exactly what has been described for decades by scientists from the intergovernmental group of climate experts” (IPCC).
He also explains that by force “to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, as human activities, year after year, continue to increase their greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, we have a global warming that comes increase the frequency but also the intensity of climatic phenomena that we know “.
Cyrille Cormier affirms that he is “difficult to predict and know when these phenomena occur”. Despite everything, the engineer declares that “will have a higher frequency in the future. We will have such phenomena and above all an increasingly strong intensity. What is extraordinary today could be in the future temperatures that we know more regularly, more frequently during summers “.
