Pandemics, massive earthquakes, war, and other catastrophes inspire
immediate action because their casualties and destruction are
immediately visible. Climate change is an unyielding problem
because its long-range dangers are hidden, and thus it is a global
risk unlike anything in human experience. The federal government
recently announced aggressive climate targets for Canada. We have
committed to producing net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050,
which will require major changes for our economy and way of life.
Canadian citizens need to understand why our most distinguished
climate scientists and our senior political leaders think that we
must meet this target. Canada and Climate Change explains the
importance of policies that will ensure we meet the net-zero
emissions target. William Leiss provides a firm grasp on what
climate change is and how scientists have described shifts in the
earth's climate as they have occurred over hundreds of millions of
years and as they are likely to occur in the near future,
especially by the end of this century. Leiss argues that citizens
have a right to place their trust in what climate scientists tell
us. Canada and Climate Change is an essential primer on where we
stand on the issue of climate change in Canada and what will unfold
in the years ahead.
