As a group of eastern Ontario mayors heads to Ottawa to plead for action to curb the effects of flooding from Lake Ontario, advocates are calling for major changes and urgent funding for municipalities.
“The entire Lake Ontario basin was severely affected last year. Given the prognostications thus far and the actual hard evidence of lake levels right now, we expect 2020 to be a repeat of 2019 — if not worse,” Steve Ferguson, mayor of Prince Edward County, told Global News.

Ontario has failed to consider how chopping down parts of one of the world’s largest old-growth pine forests will impact climate change, environmental groups allege in a lawsuit filed against the Doug Ford government earlier this month.
Friends of Temagami Forest and Earthroots Coalition say in their application that the Ministry of the Environment’s 10-year management plan for Temagami forest, located 400 kilometres north of Toronto, does not detail how much carbon will be released when up to 341,000 cubic metres of trees are harvested a year — enough to fill about 136 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Lightning — one, two, three — and thunder. For centuries, people have estimated the distance of a thunderstorm from the time between lightning and thunder. The greater the time gap between the two signals, the further away the observer is from the location of the lightning. This is because lightning propagates at the speed of light with almost no time delay, while thunder propagates at the much slower speed of sound of around 340 metres per second.
