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?
