Global warming is caused by an increase in the amount of heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere. Global warming changes the Earth’s climate. Climate change is a variation in the long-term weather patterns of temperature and precipitation (typically decades or longer). These patterns can result in a climate that is warmer or colder, wetter or drier. Normally, climate change happens slowly over thousands of years, but because of increased industrialization and associated human activities, the Earth’s climate is rapidly warming.

In Ontario, we can expect average temperatures to rise by as much as 3 to 8 degrees Celsius over the next century. Warmer temperatures may result in milder winters, longer growing seasons and a higher frequency of severe weather events such as record-breaking storms, floods, droughts and heat waves. The expected changes in our climate will have a significant impact on Ontario’s ecosystems, and us and our communities.
