The takeaway from these reports is that all energy sources, including carbon - based fuels, are necessary to meet
future global energy demand growth as society manages climate change risks.

In this way I've benefited from courses on
global climate change, climatology,
future energy supply and
demand, the physics of the greenhouse effect and planetary radiation balance, and climate politics and policy options.
But
demands for climate justice too often ignore basic practicalities of
energy, poverty, and climate change, directing our gaze away from the issues that really matter to the
future prospects of both the
global poor and the planet and toward issues that don't.
Issues examined include: whether we really are facing a «Green»
energy future or not; the rise of electric vehicles; the long term relevance to law firms of growing
demand for natural resources — including water resources; and how a
global economy will
demand a far greater
global transport infrastructure.
The
global economic slowdown, which has driven down the price of oil and negatively impacted the Canadian
energy sector, is expected to have a ripple effect on the
demand for office space in Calgary, resulting in flat to negative growth in the near
future.
