Summary:
"An investigation into the scale and costs of transitioning our energy systems to achieve net-zero emissions.
Canada
and the rest of the developed world have committed to decarbonizing basic energy systems, but do this country's citizens and governments truly understand the sacrifices ahead--and once we do understand, will we accept those sacrifices in the name of reducing the impacts of
climate
change
? Will the rest of the developed world take on the necessary costs, and will
Canada
forge ahead with decarbonization, even if other countries do not? Carbon
Change
explores this most visceral of public policy choices for
Canada
, with a deep dive into major North American energy and
climate
policy from 2019 to the end of 2021, the enduring impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and political processes across the developed world with respect to dealing with
climate
change
risks. It offers a dispassionate analysis of the scale and cost of trying to realize the aspiration of decarbonization. Dennis McConaghy asks if a more balanced and nuanced approach is possible to mitigate the extremes of the
climate
change
impact, while still using hydrocarbons optimally to maximize global human welfare."--Publisher.
