Summary:
"William Leiss is a fellow and past president of the Royal Society of
Canada
and officer of the Order of
Canada
and professor of emeritus at the School of Policy Studies, Queen's University. Pandemics, massive earthquakes, war, and other catastrophes inspire immediate action because their casualties and destruction are immediately visible.
Climate
change
is a 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."--From publisher.
