Doomed, Unless
by Luc Gagnon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Non-fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In this book, you will learn how political correctness has greatly
underestimated climate change impacts and overestimated the benefits of new
technologies. This is a recipe for disaster. There is still hope if we eliminate
political correctness from climate policy, as many options are available to
save modern civilization.
QUOTES
FROM ENERGY EXPERTS
Luc
Gagnon's book is a breath of fresh air in the climate debate. Based on rigorous
analysis and a critical eye refined over his long career, the author offers us
a raw picture of the failure of climate policies. Too often, these policies are
fueled by good thinking and political correctness rather than by facts... A book
to read and discuss absolutely.

Normand Mousseau, Professor, Physical Science, Montreal University
We
need a new way of understanding the energy transition. This book sheds a harsh
light on why inertia is winning, despite the importance of our scientific
knowledge... Almost no one has the courage to clearly identify (the needed)
changes for fear of offending this or that group. Luc Gagnon has that courage.

Pierre-Olivier Pineau, Professor, Hautes Études Commerciales, Montreal
University
The
author has the lucidity to accept the real causes plaguing humanity and
ultimately threatening its survival. Clearly, without deceit. An essential
work.

EXCERPT
Air pollution from fossil fuels is responsible for 6 or 7
million deaths, each year. This is due
to pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic
compounds. The assessment does not consider greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs),
and the effects of climate change.
A complete assessment should include climate change, which
increases the intensity and frequency of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, heat
waves, droughts, bushfires, and forest fires.
In the future, the annual number of victims will be calculated in
millions.

This book on climate change is unique because the author has experience from different, even opposite, perspectives:
• University
teacher in Urban Planning, Environmental Science, and Engineering.
• 15 years of
work for environmental groups dealing with climate change, public transit, and
sustainable development.
• 20 years for
Hydro-Quebec as Senior Advisor, Climate Change.
• Years of
research on life-cycle assessments (LCAs) of energy options.
• His expertise
in energy was recognized by the International Energy Agency and the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He has published numerous
articles.
• With a
life-cycle approach, he is able to identify when promoters or politicians make
misleading promises due to political correctness.
He was nominated,
on three occasions, as Expert reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC).
Dr. Gagnon has
published numerous articles on greenhouse gas emissions and the energy payback
of energy options.
His expertise
in life-cycle assessments allows him to identify when promoters or politicians
make misleading promises due to political correctness. In sum, he is able to detect when communications
are self-serving and designed to impress, without concern for the truth.
