Climate Change in Ontario

 

Over the last 50 to 100 years, increased industrialization and human activities have begun to affect the balance of the Earth’s natural climate. Increasing the amount of greenhouse gases causes the Earth’s atmosphere to heat up. When this global warming affects our weather patterns and climate conditions, it is referred to as climate change.

Ontario’s Plant A Tree Challenge encourages people to plant trees to fight climate change.  Trees clean the air, store carbon, increase wildlife habitat, provide shade, and prevent flooding.  You can help fight climate change - planting just one tree makes a difference to our province and our planet.
