Table of ContentsReviewsIt is worth saying that it is preposterous that in a world where we can get energy from the sun, the wind, and the tides -- all above ground -- we still get energy by sending miners underground to dig coal, and by defacing the landscape in search of oil and with the construction of pipelines. Carbon Blues is a timely synthesis of the daunting subject of climate change and makes an important contribution to discourse on the topic in society and in the classroom. Laurel Sefton MacDowell, University of Toronto and author of An Environmental History of Canada ""It is worth saying that it is preposterous that in a world where we can get energy from the sun, the wind, and the tides -- all above ground -- we still get energy by sending miners underground to dig coal, and by defacing the landscape in search of oil and with the construction of pipelines.

Laurel Sefton MacDowell, University of Toronto and author of An Environmental History of Canada ""In this solidly-written book, Mason, author of Turbulent Empires, sweeps through a variety of contexts related to climate change, history, current events, and the future.
