About This Item
Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 2007. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. 265 pp. Black boards lettered in gilt on the spine; headband; illustrated with diagrams. Light rubbing on the corners of the dustjacket; price intact; no interior markings. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that Canada has very little impact on the world's climate - this giant country has a population of a mere 38 million people. A carbon tax is insanity and a lie. The world's climate will only settle down when the most populated industrial countries stop polluting as horrendously as they do. The Chapters are: Part One: How We Got into This Mess: The Science and the Politics: Why a Warmer Canada is Bad News; Canada's Do-nothing Strategy; More Wasted Years of Talk. Part Two: Getting Out of the Mess: Options and Solutions: A Tour of the Options; Unhelpful Allies on Both Flanks; Dion and Harper: New Leaders - Discredited Ideas; What We Should Do; and The Role of Government and Citizen; followed by a conclusion and references..
