Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : temperature change in Canada.: En4-144/77-2021E-PDF

"Changes in climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity affect a wide range of natural processes and human activities. For example, temperature change can influence crops, forests, infrastructure, the spread of disease, the availability of water and the health of ecosystems. Temperature is also a key indicator of how the climate is changing in response to human emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), as increasing GHG concentrations result in warming of the lower atmosphere. The indicators show the yearly and seasonal surface air temperature departures for the years 1948 to 2020"--Page 5.
