Plan – Prepare – Be Aware Did You Know Climate Change is one of the greatest threats of our generation? What is Climate Change? Climate change refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. “Climate change occurs when long-term weather patterns are altered – for example, through human activity. Global warming is one measure of climate change, and is a rise in the average global temperature.” www.davidsuzuki.org The effects of Climate Change have already been experienced in Ontario with more frequent and intense weather events over the past decade. October 2012 – Wawa received 133 mm rain in 9 hours. April 2013 – Muskoka experienced extreme flooding due to a combination of partially frozen ground, later-than-usual snow melt, persistent lake ice, and largely heavy, warms rains. July 2013 – 126 mm of rain fell in Toronto in 2 hours. June 2014 – An F2 tornado touched down in Angus – winds between 200 and 220 km/hr.
