    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    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.

    For instance, they project how an expected rise in the number of days with extreme heat – 30 degrees and up – will have impacts on Ontario’s growing seasons, businesses and human health.

    “It is important to recognize how these findings can be used to spur action to protect residents, ecosystems, businesses and communities across Ontario.”

    The report lays out the ways the researchers expect climate change to affect each region of Ontario along five broad themes: infrastructure; food and agriculture; people and communities; natural resources, ecosystems and the environment; business and the economy.

    In an email, Piccini’s spokesperson Daniel Strauss said the government is working to identify further ways to prepare Ontario for the effects of climate change.
