THE BOOK THAT ANSWERS ALL THE BIG QUESTIONS
About Climate Change, Alberta, How We Got Into This Mess and How To Fix It


Carbon Development
  • How Alberta helped make Canada the fifth largest oil and gas producer in the world and created Canada’s largest resource industry by any measure
  • Without carbon, Alberta is Manitoba with mountains. Why millions more people live in Alberta than places with similar geography like Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Montana, North Dakota and Idaho
  • What it means to the economy of Alberta and the country  if politicians who want to legislate a reduction in Canadian oil and gas production win power in the upcoming federal election. There is talk of a "just transition" for former oil workers. Doing what? What will it cost? How many people will be disrupted? Can Canada afford it? Why aren’t we having this discussion?


Carbon Politics
  • Politicians claim they can fix anything. Government’s evolution from repairing the roads to repairing the atmosphere
  • The history of Canadian carbon politics – the good, the bad and the ugly from the Geological Survey of Canada to the National Energy Program to pipeline wars
  • How climate change evolved from a scientific theory to one of the world’s major political issues and a looming threat to the future of the planet
  • The impact of the internet on the media, climate change and the world
  • Politicians respond with lots of climate change policies with few solutions and negligible results


Carbon Future
  • Rising population and economic growth ensure continued global fossil fuel consumption
  • All the good things going on in the world that nobody talks about
  • Carbon capital crunch – squeezing the taps on fossil fuel producers
  • Who is exploiting climate change without actually changing the climate
  • Carbon taxes – the solution nobody will pay for
  • Alberta’s history of carbon-funded big government and its uncertain future in a low-carbon world
  • Workable solutions to control climate change through the development of lower emission fossil fuel production and exploitation technologies that can be exported to the countries that really need them in Asia and Africa
