Canada lacks adequate funding model for climate science: report GlobeBusiness

A rock cairn marks a high point near the Polar Environmental Atmospheric Research Laboratory near the Eureka Weather Station, on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, in 2006. A report released by the research advocacy group Evidence for Democracy suggests that what Canada needs is a program that will fund intermediate-scale projects with budgets of about $1-million to $2-million a year.

“This government has been having a hard time getting the pots of money right,” said Katie Gibbs, the organization’s executive director. “There’s a need for more strategic thinking on how to make sure we are doing this essential research.” In particular, this includes the Polar Experimental Atmospheric Research Laboratory – known as PEARL. Based at Eureka, on Ellesmere Island, the university-run lab monitors ozone, greenhouse gases and other climate-change-related constituents of the Arctic atmosphere among other research projects.

A spokesperson for the minister said that researchers understood then that this extension, “did not represent a long-term solution and any additional support would have to be obtained through existing programs.”
