Climatologist delivers
bleak weather picture
By Heather Crawford
Citizen staff
Changes already underway in the
climate mean hotter drier summers,
more storms and weather extremes
such as droughts and flooding and
there is no way of stopping it.
That's the bleak news senior
climatologist and meteorologist Joan
Klaassen of Environment Canada in
Toronto gave in a presentation at the
Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority office in Wroxeter on
Wednesday, March 22.
Klaassen said all are vulnerable to
climate change. "Climate change
will have a significant impact on all
aspects of life."
Greenhouse gases that are already
in existence in the atmosphere will
take a few hundred years to go away.
" And that's if we do not add any
Who would have thought? There

To date The Citizen has received
several nominations for the Citizen
of the Year from Brussels, but none
from Blyth.
The deadline for submissions is
the end of April. If you have
nominated someone in the past and
they were not selected you can
nominate them again.
You needn't fill out the entire form
more," she said.
"The 20th century is likely the
warmest of the millennium," she
said. "
She outlined in her presentation
how climate change affects
infrastructure, health, shipping,
wildlife and agriculture.
"Farmers will be faced with
having to adapt to droughts and
flooding," she said.
She said aging, deteriorating
infrastructure as well as an
increasing dependency on
electricity, as was demonstrated in
the blackout during the summer of
2005, are making us more
vulnerable when large scale storms
and natural disasters hit.
"If infrastructure is not designed
properly, it will cost municipalities a
lot of money," she said.
She mentioned examples of
as the old ones are on file. However,
only names submitted this year are
considered.
Past recipients of this award have
been recognized for a specific role,
for on-going community spirit, for
leadership or for their positive
influence on those around them.
No one need look too far to
see those special people who make
a living in a place like Blyth
and Brussels so great. Let's
say thanks and nominate
them.
disasters in Peterborough in the
summer of 2004, ice storm '98 in
Quebec and eastern Ontario and
flooding in north-western Ontario in
2002.
"It's going to hit this area as well,"
she said. "It's just a matter of time."
Klaassen mentioned the Walkerton
tragedy of 2000 as well.
"Excess rainfall from May 8-12
was a causative factor in the
Walkerton waterborne disease
outbreak," she said in her
presentation. "Recent U.S. research
found a significant relationship
between excess rainfall and
waterborne disease outbreaks."
Climate change will mean all
levels of government will have to
deal with infrastructure, public
transportation, an energy crisis, air
quality and health concerns,
according to Klaassen.
