    Climate change will have significant impacts on human life in Ontario. Temperatures are expected to increase more in Ontario than closer to the equator. This will lead to milder winters with fewer extremely cold days and less snow, but also more extremely hot days in summer. Precipitation patterns will shift, with some areas becoming drier and others wetter. More heavy rainfall will also occur. Increased temperatures will exacerbate health issues like heat stroke and lung diseases. Extreme weather events like storms will become more frequent and severe, causing more property damage. Forests, agriculture and wildlife will experience both advantages and disadvantages from climate change.
