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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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. \u003ci\u003eCanada and Climate Change\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeiss argues that citizens have a right to place their trust in what climate scientists tell us. \u003ci\u003eCanada and Climate Change\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential primer on where we stand on the issue of climate change in Canada and what will unfold in the years ahead.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Leiss is a fellow and past president of the Royal Society of Canada, an officer of the Order of Canada, and professor emeritus at the School of Policy Studies, Queen's University.
