DESCRIPTION:Those arguing against action on climate change are quick to rem
 ind us that Canada is a very large\, cold country and to argue that this m
 eans we will benefit from climate change. These findings are not the prese
 rve of heretics\; credible academic research has generally found that Cana
 da could see positive economic gains from climate change. The reality is t
 hat\, while we might benefit from slightly warmer winters\, that is not al
 l that climate change will offer us. Climate change promises us more smoke
 \, less permafrost\, higher sea levels\, and stronger storms. It also almo
 st certainly portends a more volatile world. In the last of three lectures
  drawn from his book Between Doom and Denial\, Andrew Leach examines this 
 and other lies\, half-truths\, and easy soundbites that define Canadian cl
 imate change debates. A conversation with Gerald Butts and a moderated Q&A
  will follow the lecture. \n\nEconomic ideas for a stronger Canada\n\nCana
 da needs better policies to address today’s economic challenges\, and that
  starts with bold discourse. The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Max Bell Lectures focus on the ana
 lysis\, balance\, and practicality needed to plan for a more prosperous fu
 ture.\n\nThe 2023 lectures are drawn from Between Doom and Denial: Facing 
 Facts About Climate Change by economist\, writer\, and University of Alber
 ta professor Andrew Leach. Attendees will receive a copy of the associated
  book!\n\n'The truth is that we do have a climate change problem\, we will
  continue to use fossil fuels (at least for the foreseeable future)\, we a
 re already seeing dramatic changes in our energy systems\, and some people
  inevitably will be left behind. We have the tools to make a real differen
 ce\, argues Andrew Leach\, but big questions remain. Are we up to the chal
 lenge? And can we be honest with ourselves about what the energy transitio
 n really means for Canada?'\n
