Toronto could soon be under a deep freeze as a system threatens to bring temperatures colder than -30 C to southern Ontario.

The forecast for early February comes as Toronto braces for what is promising to be a historic snowstorm, and extremely frigid temperatures forecast for the following week could complicate cleanup efforts.

Ingersoll, Ontario-based extreme weather chaser, David Piano, shared a graphic forecasting bitter cold to descend over the region by Feb. 2 with temperatures as low as the mid-negative-30s in both Fahrenheit and Celsius (the two metrics reach equilibrium in this extreme range). [...]

So yea, there could be points during this cold system where Toronto and the surrounding region will indeed be colder than the surface of Mars.

As terrifying as this prediction is, different meteorologists are saying different things about this coming Groundhog Day, and some don't think the coming cold weather will be as bad as this one forecast suggests.

The Weather Network is only predicting a low of -15 C for Feb. 2, while Accuweather's forecast only calls for a low of -10 C, a discrepancy that has to do with the GFS model's tendency to run colder than official forecasts.

This was the case in early 2019 when a similar arctic blast descended over Lake Michigan, and GFS-model predictions called for significantly lower air temperatures than predictions using the standard ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) model. [...]

🌤️🌩️ Weather and Climate 🌤️🌨️❄️

Weather is the average condition of the atmosphere over a period of time. It is influenced by a different factors, including climate. Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term patterns of temperature, and other atmospheric conditions in a specific region.

Technology has played a role in the way we teach and learn about weather and climate. Here's how:

It makes students more engaged and helps them to retain information for example by observing virtual landforms and weather patterns. Technologies that we use to address climate change are known as climate technologies. Climate technologies help us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions include renewable energies such as wind energy, solar power and hydropower.

In addition the Information and Communication technology involves the use of Stateline or airborne sensors to collect data on various parameters as temperature, precipitation and vegetation covers amoung others. Also education systems have to become more resilient ti climate related disasters to avoid disruption during extreme weather events

Furthermore, advanced computers and models enable students to observe and manipulate virtual landscapes and weather patterns. These tools enhance understanding. The internet offers a variety of educational materials, from informative websites to videos and online courses. Students can access a wide range of information on weathering and climate at their fingertips.

Satellites and remote sensors collect extensive data on climate and environmental changes. These data sets are used to teach students about climate trends and the impact of weathering on landscapes.

There are various apps and games are designed to make learning about weathering and climate enjoyable and interactive, particularly for younger students.

Students can gain valuable data analysis skills by using software tools to examine climate data, weather patterns, and environmental changes, fostering a deeper understanding of scientific processes.

In conclusion, technology has transformed weathering and climate education by making it more accessible, engaging, and interactive. These technological tools enable students to explore complex concepts and gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between weathering processes and climate patterns.

How Education Effect Poverty\

Introduction:

It has long been acknowledged that education is a potent tool in the fight against poverty. It plays a crucial role in assisting individuals and communities to break the poverty cycle and achieve long-term economic growth. Education has the power to improve social mobility, reduce inequality, and transform lives. We will investigate the ways in which education influences poverty and the role it plays in shaping the future in this article.

Poverty and Education:

One of the most effective ways to fight poverty is through education. It gives people the knowledge and skills they need to get better-paying jobs, which leads to higher incomes and better living conditions. People who are educated also acquire a sense of self-reliance and empowerment, which can assist them in overcoming the difficulties that come with living in poverty.

The ability of education to break the poverty cycle across generations is one of its most significant effects on poverty. When it comes to getting an education of a high quality, children who are raised in poverty frequently face disadvantages. As they struggle to find well-paying jobs, this can perpetuate the cycle of poverty, resulting in a lifetime of financial uncertainty. We can break this cycle and ensure that future generations do not remain in poverty by ensuring that all children, regardless of their socioeconomic status, have access to high-quality educational opportunities.

In addition, education plays a crucial role in reducing inequality and promoting gender equality. Women and girls face significant obstacles to gaining access to education and are frequently marginalized in poverty-stricken societies. We can promote gender equality and empower women to contribute to the economic and social development of their communities by providing girls and boys with equal access to education.

The Impact of Education on the Future

To shape the future, education is essential. It serves as the foundation for technological advancement, social progress, and economic expansion. Innovation and advancement in all facets of society—from healthcare to agriculture and beyond—require a workforce with a high level of education.

Education not only has a positive impact on the economy but also plays a crucial role in fostering democracy and good governance. A population with a high level of education is more likely to demand transparency and accountability, engage in civic life, and hold their leaders accountable. A more just and equitable society and governments that are more responsive and effective may result from this.

Conclusion:

In the fight against poverty, education is an essential tool. It can change people's lives, end poverty, advance gender equality, and shape the future. We can build a society that is better for everyone by investing in education. We must make education a top priority as a human right and ensure that every child, regardless of their socioeconomic status, has access to high-quality education. Really at that time might we at any point genuinely open the maximum capacity of schooling and understand its extraordinary power.

"With “green corridors” that mimic the natural forest, the Colombian city is driving down temperatures — and could become five degrees cooler over the next few decades.

In the face of a rapidly heating planet, the City of Eternal Spring — nicknamed so thanks to its year-round temperate climate — has found a way to keep its cool.

Previously, Medellín had undergone years of rapid urban expansion, which led to a severe urban heat island effect — raising temperatures in the city to significantly higher than in the surrounding suburban and rural areas. Roads and other concrete infrastructure absorb and maintain the sun’s heat for much longer than green infrastructure.

“Medellín grew at the expense of green spaces and vegetation,” says Pilar Vargas, a forest engineer working for City Hall. “We built and built and built. There wasn’t a lot of thought about the impact on the climate. It became obvious that had to change.”

Efforts began in 2016 under Medellín’s then mayor, Federico Gutiérrez (who, after completing one term in 2019, was re-elected at the end of 2023). The city launched a new approach to its urban development — one that focused on people and plants.

The $16.3 million initiative led to the creation of 30 Green Corridors along the city’s roads and waterways, improving or producing more than 70 hectares of green space, which includes 20 kilometers of shaded routes with cycle lanes and pedestrian paths.

These plant and tree-filled spaces — which connect all sorts of green areas such as the curb strips, squares, parks, vertical gardens, sidewalks, and even some of the seven hills that surround the city — produce fresh, cooling air in the face of urban heat. The corridors are also designed to mimic a natural forest with levels of low, medium and high plants, including native and tropical plants, bamboo grasses and palm trees.

Heat-trapping infrastructure like metro stations and bridges has also been greened as part of the project and government buildings have been adorned with green roofs and vertical gardens to beat the heat. The first of those was installed at Medellín’s City Hall, where nearly 100,000 plants and 12 species span the 1,810 square meter surface.

“It’s like urban acupuncture,” says Paula Zapata, advisor for Medellín at C40 Cities, a global network of about 100 of the world’s leading mayors. “The city is making these small interventions that together act to make a big impact.”

At the launch of the project, 120,000 individual plants and 12,500 trees were added to roads and parks across the city. By 2021, the figure had reached 2.5 million plants and 880,000 trees. Each has been carefully chosen to maximize their impact.

“The technical team thought a lot about the species used. They selected endemic ones that have a functional use,” explains Zapata.

The 72 species of plants and trees selected provide food for wildlife, help biodiversity to spread and fight air pollution. A study, for example, identified Mangifera indica as the best among six plant species found in Medellín at absorbing PM2.5 pollution — particulate matter that can cause asthma, bronchitis and heart disease — and surviving in polluted areas due to its “biochemical and biological mechanisms.”

And the urban planting continues to this day.

The groundwork is carried out by 150 citizen-gardeners like Pineda, who come from disadvantaged and minority backgrounds, with the support of 15 specialized forest engineers. Pineda is now the leader of a team of seven other gardeners who attend to corridors all across the city, shifting depending on the current priorities...

“I’m completely in favor of the corridors,” says [Victoria Perez, another citizen-gardener], who grew up in a poor suburb in the city of 2.5 million people. “It really improves the quality of life here.”

Wilmar Jesus, a 48-year-old Afro-Colombian farmer on his first day of the job, is pleased about the project’s possibilities for his own future. “I want to learn more and become better,” he says. “This gives me the opportunity to advance myself.”

The project’s wider impacts are like a breath of fresh air. Medellín’s temperatures fell by 2°C in the first three years of the program, and officials expect a further decrease of 4 to 5C over the next few decades, even taking into account climate change. In turn, City Hall says this will minimize the need for energy-intensive air conditioning...

In addition, the project has had a significant impact on air pollution. Between 2016 and 2019, the level of PM2.5 fell significantly, and in turn the city’s morbidity rate from acute respiratory infections decreased from 159.8 to 95.3 per 1,000 people [Note: That means the city's rate of people getting sick with lung/throat/respiratory infections.]

There’s also been a 34.6 percent rise in cycling in the city, likely due to the new bike paths built for the project, and biodiversity studies show that wildlife is coming back — one sample of five Green Corridors identified 30 different species of butterﬂy.

Other cities are already taking note. Bogotá and Barranquilla have adopted similar plans, among other Colombian cities, and last year São Paulo, Brazil, the largest city in South America, began expanding its corridors after launching them in 2022.

“For sure, Green Corridors could work in many other places,” says Zapata."
