What's the catch? The catch is climate change. The oil and gas industry knows that t he world will continue to use oil and gas\, but far less of it if climate change mitigation strategies are successful. So why do they leave out that last part so often? Are they hiding it from themselves\, from the rest of us\, or both? In the second 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 climate change debates. A conv ersation with Deborah Yedlin and a moderated Q&A will follow the lecture. \n\nEconomic ideas for a stronger Canada\n\nCanada needs better policies t o address today’s economic challenges\, and that starts with bold discours e. The ºÃÉ«TVl Max Bell Lectures focus on the analysis\, balance\, and prac ticality needed to plan for a more prosperous future.\n\nThe 2023 lectures are drawn from Between Doom and Denial: Facing Facts About Climate Change by economist\, writer\, and University of Alberta professor Andrew Leach. Attendees will receive a copy of the associated book!\n\n'The truth is th at we do have a climate change problem\, we will continue to use fossil fu els (at least for the foreseeable future)\, we are already seeing dramatic changes in our energy systems\, and some people inevitably will be left b ehind. We have the tools to make a real difference\, argues Andrew Leach\, but big questions remain. Are we up to the challenge? And can we be hones t with ourselves about what the energy transition really means for Canada?
