Climate change will mean Toronto summers will be even more scorching than they are now, an expert said on Monday after the release of a new United Nations report. "You combine that with climate change and we can expect really, really hot conditions in cities in the future," she said. Smith said climate change will require massive changes in how energy is delivered and produced and bold leadership to make those changes. Smith's comments come after the UN-appointed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in its latest report that climate change is "widespread, rapid, and intensifying" and scientists are seeing its impact in every region. She added she wants governments to recognize that climate change is indeed a crisis.
