Estonia

It takes only 228 days for the average Canadian to produce as much greenhouse gases as the average Estonian will produce over the course of the entire year.  Therefore, August 16th (228 days into the year) is "Climate Change Impacts in Estonia Day."

Estonia already has very high climate variability.  However, since the second half of the 20th century, annual mean temperature has increased between 1 and 1.7 °C.*  This increase is being seen primarily in the period from January to May, causing the end of winter and start of spring to occur earlier.  

While certain agricultural crops may benefit from a warmer climate, pests populations are expected to increase.  It is also predicted that “the number of stormy days will increase, and heavy rain falls and spring droughts will occur more frequently.”
