The CBC produced an interactive feature about the dangers of climate change in Canada, focusing on five cities threatened by environmental factors like sea-level rise, flooding, and wildfires.
Laura Wright writes the words to accompany an interactive tour of cities and towns where climate change is already very real: Lennox Island, Toronto, Prince Albert, Richmond, and Old Crow. The five cities represent "a mix of large urban centres, mid-size cities and remote villages."
The article includes maps, photos, and radio segments to illustrate the already widespread effects of climate change.
