A new report commissioned by Premier Doug Ford's government warns that climate change poses high risks to Ontario, with impacts on everything from food production to infrastructure to businesses.

The report – called the Provincial Climate Change Impact Assessment – projects a soaring number of days with extreme heat across Ontario, as well as increases in flooding and more frequent wildfires.

Why can't a tornado get Duggy's cottage or Downtown Toronto?

Is that what's going to take for action on the government's part?

Taking action involves acknowledging Climate Change is real, and involves investing in something not directly tied to a business buddy.

Worse yet, it requires investing in things which are less profitable (in the short term) than other things you could have invested in.

The horror!
