This has to do with global warming, and a new solution to cooling buildings in Toronto. I read today where the near freezing water from the bottom of Lake Ontario will be channeled into large buildings in Toronto to cool them, thereby decreasing the need for traditional, air conditioning, and a decrease in CO2 emissions, and etc.
This sounded great, but they are still warming the world, and then maybe Lake Ontario as well. I presume the water will go back into the lake on the top or the heat will rise to the top, but will they alter the temperature of the lake by this means and cause algin overgrowth, or change the bottom environment on the lake to the extent that negative things occur? The lake is large, but that freezing core of it has surely something that it supports. Here is the article.
