It is now official; after Mayor John Tory (aka Johnny Short Pants) whined Canada’s largest city has a “climate emergency,” city council voted unanimously that we in this city indeed have a crisis. This was accompanied by the usual claptrap about having zero carbon emissions in 2050, a year in which the current city mothers will be out of office, some of them dead.
Of course we can write this off as mere virtue signalling and not do anything to immediately attempt to deal with this crisis. But those who care about the city can and should take immediate steps to combat this emergency. And there is something that can be done.
