Keeping Our Cool : Canada in a Warming World.
Weaver, Andrew, 1961-
Keeping Our Cool : Canada in a Warming World. - x, 323 p. : ill., maps, ports. ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 295-306) and index.
A change in the wind -- Global warming in the news -- A passage through time -- The nature of things -- The human footprint -- Turbulent times -- Investing in the future.
Monster wildfires in Australia, January golfers in PEI, ruined fruit crops in California, snowless ski runs in Switzerland, starving polar bears in the North, devastated trees in Stanley Park. Climate change is no longer a vague threat. The climate change we are in store for over the next few centuries will be larger and occur faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years. Brilliantly researched, Keeping Our Cool is a comprehensive and engaging examination and explanation of global warming, with a specific emphasis on climate change in Canada. In an engaging and accessible way, Weaver explains the levels of greenhouse gas emissions needed to stabilize the climate and offers solutions and a path toward a sustainable future.
