Environment Canada has issued special weather forecast for Agawa, Searchmont and Sault Ste. Marie. The specific areas covered in the issued statement are Lake Superior Park, Montreal River Harbour, Batchawana Bay and St. Joseph Island. Lake Superior is predicted to suffer from low visibility while flurries are generated due to cold air over the warm waters of Lake Superior. The visibility has been reduced to about 800 metres.

Travel is going to be difficult, SOO Today reports, particularly on St Joseph as well as along highway 17 between Wawa and Sault Ste Marie. The winds are going to shift to northern part today. This means that the snow bands will shift further south. Consequently, the amounts of snowfall are not going to increase significantly. However, there will be a few regions where the snowfall may be as thick as 5 cm or even more.

Environment Canada has also issued a rain warning of about 50-70 millimetres for the Burgo to Ramea. The heavy rain is expected on Monday night and on Tuesday as well. The heavy rain will also move across western Newfoundland and stay for a couple of days. The southwest coast is expected to witness the maximum rainfall as it may rain for about 50-70 millimetres by the end of Tuesday.

Leona Aglukkaq, the Canadian Environment Minister, attended a conference on climate change in Warsaw on Nov 18. A recent European report revealed that Canada was among worst developed nations in terms of dealing with greenhouse gas emission. Canada happens to be ahead of Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan and Iran only. Canada ranked 58th among a total of 61 countries. The conference in Warsaw has reached its second week as it is in the process of developing a regime in accordance with the international climate change after 2020.

The Climate Action Network Europe and Germanwatch annual report showed that Canada had also hit the bottom in terms of per capita emissions. It has failed to develop renewable energy while its performance is pretty low when it comes to international climate policy.
