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 ºÃÉ«TVl 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
