Canada carbon emission reduction target: However, as the Harper government sets new targets for greenhouse gas reductions, it may be time to face the fact that the future value of Canada fossil fuels may be dwarfed by a much greater source of wealth, according to CBC. It might be time to change our focus from oil to building an economy that will be successful in the face of global warming. In one of his final lectures before his death in 2013, multimillionaire scientist James Martin warned of the inevitable chaos as climate change worsened, painting a picture of human suffering not unlike what we are seeing today. Rising carbon emissions from oilsands a 'unique' challenge, federal cabinet told New climate change targets but no regulations for the oil sands Canada set carbon emission reduction target of 30% by 2030 Martin — famous for predicting the current internet-connected world in his 1979 book, The Wired Society — also said if some lucky countries, including Canada, played their cards right, they could be heading for a state of grace that he called "eco-affluence." Chaos and affluence The predictions of both chaos and affluence seem to be in conflict. No one knows for certain how the impact of climate change will unfold, says Myles Allen, a professor of geosystem science at the Oxford Martin School. But according to Martin, the largest single donor to the University of Oxford in its long history, they are two sides of the same coin.
