You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups.

Nope. He's disgusted by car bloat.

We go back to the data used in a recent paper on climate impacts of different land-use scenarios to unpack one aspect of the findings: residents in denser, centralized, urban areas have far less impact on emissions than in suburban, exurban & rural areas. schoolofcities.utoro...
