The Nature of Things Climate Change: Hot Times in the City (Part 2 of 2)
The Nature of Things Climate Change: Hot Times in the City (Part 2 of 2)
Hot Times in the City takes the pulse of three major Canadian cities as they grapple with one of the planet’s greatest threats to human health — global warming. For years Toronto has struggled with crumbling infrastructure, urban sprawl, traffic gridlock and pervasive smog. In Vancouver, a pre-Olympic building boom ignores the fact that areas below or at sea level are slowly sinking. Because of shifts in Atlantic weather patterns, Halifax now sits squarely in a hurricane route.
