The media made it into a news story, but it wasn't really a news story. Ouranos is working with Environment and Climate Change Canada on a project called the Canadian Centre for Climate Services. Its website is climatedata.ca. This project enables any community to download climate change scenarios—temperature, precipitation and degree days—and a host of climate indicators.
We develop scientific knowledge and put it on the website so that municipal stakeholders making climate change adaptation plans can continually access the best available data to move their projects forward. That study wasn't particularly new. I actually think that climate change science is becoming quasi-operational in terms of providing information that decision-makers can rely on.
