Energy and Climate

Capturing the Imagination of Canada’s Climate Policy

New!

From: Corporate Rules

$1.80

In this chapter, Jason MacLean argues that the key barrier to addressing climate change in Canada is not a deficit of scientific understanding or our technological capacity, but instead politics. The chapter then focuses on Canada as a Petro-state, where climate change is everywhere on display but has yet to be learned. The chapter focuses on how fossil fuel has influenced our climate policies, laws and regulations, shaping our imaginations on what climate change is but also how they have set the boundaries of what climate policies, laws and regulations are even possible.
