Drought, floods, hurricanes, forest fires, ice storms,
blackouts, dwindling fish stocks...what Canadian has not
experienced one of these or more, or heard about the "greenhouse"
effect, and not wondered what is happening to our climate? Yet most
of us have a poor understanding of this extremely important issue,
and need better, reliable scientific information. "Hard Choices:
Climate Change in Canada" delivers some hard facts to help us make
some of those hard choices.
This new collection of essays by leading Canadian scientists,
engineers, social scientists, and humanists offers an overview and
assessment of climate change and its impacts on Canada from
physical, social, technological, economic, political, and ethical /
religious perspectives. Interpreting and summarizing the large and
complex literatures from each of these disciplines, the book offers
a multidisciplinary approach to the challenges we face in Canada.
Special attention is given to Canada's response to the Kyoto
Protocol, as well as an assessment of the overall adequacy of Kyoto
as a response to the global challenge of climate change.
"Hard Choices" fills a gap in available books which provide
readers with reliable information on climate change and its impacts
that are specific to Canada. While written for the general reader,
it is also well suited for use as an undergraduate text in
environmental studies courses.
