We Really Can Live Without Fossil Fuels! Curt Hull, Director, Climate Change Connection presentation at Speaking Up October 19th, 2023 at X’Cues in Winnipeg.
Dec. 9, 2024 – The Winnipeg Free Press – Our city has been growing three times faster in area than in population, meaning overall density has been dropping as it grows. In 2019, the city compared the built-up area of Winnipeg over 50 years and found that the footprint of the city had increased by 96 per cent, almost doubling, while the population increased by only 37 per cent. If Winnipeg had simply maintained the density it had in the 1970s, the city’s footprint, and its corresponding infrastructure would be 30 per cent smaller than it is today.
This would have gone a long way to balancing our civic budgets.
Dec. 7. 2024 – Winnipeg Free Press – As a physician observer attending the recent United Nations Conference of the Parties (or COP 29) in Azerbaijan, it was clear the deeply unhealthy COP process needs some massive therapy if we aim to curb the single greatest health crisis of our time: the climate crisis.
Aug. 19, 2024 – New Scientist -Humanity’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, which has been totemic in climate policy for the past decade, is now almost certainly out of reach.
Apr. 1, 2024 – The Conversation Canada – The federal carbon tax increase is now in effect, and will raise gas prices by three cents per litre in most Canadian provinces. The hike prompted complaints from seven premiers and a recent parliamentary showdown, culminating in a failed vote of non-confidence in the Liberal government. Yet this ongoing debate overlooks a far costlier carbon tax: fossil fuel subsidies.
