Last year our city suffered major damage from two torrential rainstorms. Power was out; trees came down; the total cost: more than $1 billion. Yet an official City of Toronto study tells us that because of climate change, in 20 years, such extreme downpours will be more than twice as severe. Such storms could well rupture the Line 9 pipeline through which Enbridge wants to pump toxic tar sands oil. There is more. The city’s need for air conditioning, the study says, will be almost six times greater.
