- The high costs and negligible benefits of Ontario’s climate policy – Climate change may turn out to be costly, but that doesn’t mean the cost of inaction, properly measured, is more than zero. The benefits of climate policy are not equal to the entire climate damage estimate; they are equal to the reduction in expected damages attributable to the policy. For Ontario, that number is basically zero, however you do the measuring. Policymakers should start being honest with Ontarians about the cost of continually getting this concept wrong.
