Fall is in full swing, but it’s not too soon to look ahead to winter, especially one that could feel considerably different than last year’s dominated by El Niño.
The area of low pressure is a "potential storm," according to a NWS senior forecaster. But it has a low chance of forming over the next week.
The Nova Scotia government is preparing to move an iconic strip of coastal road that has been repeatedly battered by storm surge, marking the latest example of a need to modify public infrastructure to mitigate the effects of climate change.Lawrencetown Road, also known as Highway 207, slopes down from a headland just west of Lawrencetown Beach and comes within a few metres of the high-tide line. The headland, known by locals as "the point," creates a surf break that Vic Ruzgys describes as "the
The City of Charlottetown is reminding people to remove water-powered sump pumps from their homes.The city cautioned against using the pumps a few years ago, but officials said many are still in use. Joshua McInnis, manager of Charlottetown's water and sewer utility, said the city wants residents to remove the pumps as soon as possible because they draw water from the city's supply."Typically, it's a two-to-one ratio with these pumps. Some of them are a little bit different, but it'll use a litr

A Nova Scotia municipal council has voted to increase the distance wind turbines must be from private property without the owner's permission, but companies behind the renewable energy projects fear the change could set a new precedent that would stifle development across the province. The change, which has yet to be approved by the province, would require commercial turbines in the West Hants Regional Municipality to be at least 2.5 kilometres from abutting property lines unless there is consen

STORY: Europe must cancel its plan to ban new fossil fuel-emitting cars from 2035.That was the message from BMW CEO Oliver Zipse on Tuesday (October 15).He believes such a move would help reduce reliance on China's battery supply chain.Zipse has long pushed for regulators to permit various technologies, including hydrogen fuel cell cars.However, he said Tuesday the mood in Europe was "trending towards one of pessimism".He also argued the region needed a new regulatory framework to stay competitive.Last year, EU countries approved a landmark law that would require all new cars to have zero CO2 emissions from 2035.The move effectively banned diesel and petrol vehicles.But carmakers including BMW, Volkswagen and Renault have called for the CO2 targets to be loosened or delayed.They fear the impact of heavy fines because of lower-than-expected EV sales.But Zipse's home country of Germany has rejected an early review of the targets.Authorities cite the need for clarity for industry and the urgency of tackling climate change.
Renault CEO Luca de Meo's bet on a low-cost gearbox technology is allowing the French carmaker to gain ground in Europe's fast-growing hybrid car market, giving it some breathing space as rivals get squeezed by the electric mobility challenge. Demand for expensive electric vehicles is not taking off in Europe despite a European Union ban on combustion engine cars due to come into force in 2035, putting massive strain on Europe's automotive industry. But Renault, which is smaller than auto peers and was hit by record losses in 2020, is showing surprising strength in hybrid cars that use both a thermal engine and an electric one.
TORONTO — An especially warm fall in Ontario means the province may not get the colourful array of fall foliage that usually transforms treetops this time of year.
