A Canadian minister has said he has “no doubt” that a deadly storm in British Columbia is linked to climate change.
Thousands were evacuated after an “atmospheric river” – a long strip of moisture in the air that transports water from tropical areas towards the poles – dumped the region’s monthly rainfall average in 24 hours.
The storm severed road and rail links and caused mass power cuts.
One person was killed in a landslide, and at least two others are missing.
