The months of December, January and February were the warmest on record in Canada, part of a pattern of unprecedented temperatures across the globe over the past year.A person looks out over the canal in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Que., west of Montreal, in early March. Quebec had its second-mildest winter on record, according to David Phillips of Environment and Climate Change Canada.
On average, the temperature over the three-month period was 5.2 C warmer than the norm since Canada began keeping records in 1948, said Phillips. A worker tends to Ottawa's Rideau Canal, which was closed early due to mild temperatures. Copernicus, the European Union's climate monitoring institute, found February was the hottest on record around the world, making it the ninth consecutive month of record temperatures., a U.S.-based research group, tried to determine to what extent the warm temperatures could be attributed to fossil fuel-driven climate change.
But the long-term trend toward a hotter planet is due to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
