Ferruginous Hawk Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
... Alberta's climate has been changing rapidly in the recent past with mean annual temperature in the southern part of the province increasing by 0.3°C per decade over the past 30 years. The pace of change is expected to accelerate with temperatures being as much as 2.7°C warmer by the 2050s. The extra ...
