Reception
A review in Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences by Matthew Bramley wrote: "Hard Choices does cover the ground quite well, reviewing climate science, impacts, adaptation, technology, policy, law, equity, and ethics."[2] The review criticized some of the essays for being a bit outdated, while others were considered timely.[2]
Writing in the journal Environmental Reviews, Barry G. Rabe reviewed the book and commented: "It is one of those relatively rare edited collections that fits varied pieces into an appropriate package and, in the process, makes a profoundly important contribution to our understanding of climate change, particularly in the context of Canada."[3]
Robert Balling reviewed the book for the journal
Hard Choices was reviewed in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society by Tom G. Brydges.[5] The review observed: "Twenty highly qualified authors have contributed twelve chapters plus a summary that cover climate change in Canada from the basic science through politics, economics, and religion to national
and international law. Hard questions regarding the value of emission controls versus adaptation to inevitable climate change are thoroughly discussed."
