Yet most of us have a poor understanding of this extremely important issue, and need better, reliable scientific information. \u003ci\u003eHard Choices: Climate Change in Canada\u003c\/i\u003e delivers some hard facts to help us make some of those hard choices. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This new collection of essays by leading Canadian scientists, engineers, social scientists, and humanists offers an overview and assessment of climate change and its impacts on Canada from physical, social, technological, economic, political, and ethical \/ religious perspectives. Interpreting and summarizing the large and complex literatures from each of these disciplines, the book offers a multidisciplinary approach to the challenges we face in Canada. Special attention is given to Canada's response to the Kyoto Protocol, as well as an assessment of the overall adequacy of Kyoto as a response to the global challenge of climate change. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eHard Choices\u003c\/i\u003e fills a gap in available books which provide readers with reliable information on climate change and its impacts that are specific to Canada.
