Maybe Ford will finally get it

RE: CLIMATE CHANGE

Either Doug Ford and his MPPs are too stupid to understand climate change and the impact of global warming or they just have a callous disregard for future generation­s. I’d like to think it’s the former, so here’s informatio­n that maybe they’ll “get”:

Climate change is expected to double the price of beer. I heard recently on the CBC science radio show “Quirks and Quarks” about new research that shows increasing­ly widespread and severe drought around the world, caused by global warming, may adversely affect barley crops. This would cause a beer shortage and a doubling in prices, up to $5 per bottle.

Could this be the “AHA MOMENT” for Doug Ford? Will he/they now take climate change seriously?
