ALBERTA WIND &
THE GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION
CanWEA Spring Forum / Banff / 18 April 2019
“The things that we pay immediate attention to
are things that are here and now, things where
there is a certainty of imminent threat, especially
those that are caused by an identifiable enemy
with the intention to cause us harm.
And the problem is climate change has none of
these qualities. Climate change appears to be in
the future, uncertain, distant in both time and
place. And possibly, above all, it suffers from the
fact that there is no clear enemy with the intention
to cause us harm.
In fact, if anyone is responsible, it is ourselves.
And that generates another level of anxiety and
moral challenge for us that makes us want to
push this issue even further away into the far
distance and not to deal with it.”
