Three key takeaways:
- Fossil fuel subsidies and licensing can now constitute internationally wrongful acts
- The 1.5°C limit is no longer aspirational - it's a legal obligation

My letter to Minister Dreeshen in support of bike lanes in Calgary and other Alberta municipalities.

RE: livewirecalgary.com/2025/07/03/m...
Dear Minister Dreeshen, With my partner, Beatrice, and son, Sam, I moved from the suburbs to downtown Calgary in spring 2017. We came by many considerations, not least of which is the direct access we enjoy to Calgary’s expansive pathway system and downtown protected bike lane network. We neither own nor operate private motor vehicles and choose to get around our city and broader region by mass transit, walking, and bicycling. I do not want to understate, however, that bicycles are our primary transportation mode for accessing our city. Every consideration of travel begins with asking, can we bike there, and can we bike there comfortably (i.e., in calming environments)? Calgary is rightly building out 5A mobility infrastructure, meaning always available for all ages, abilities. This infrastructure is transformative in expected ways, such as changing the physical streetscape and inviting more people to replace car trips with bike trips or lending young residents greater independence and autonomy rather than relying on moms and dads to drive them everywhere. When done right, it can transform mundane tasks into an enjoyable and social occasion. For example, I like to get our groceries farther afield so I can take my bike and avail myself of a key feature: placing the load of my groceries on my bike and trailer instead of my back and arms. Often, I bump into people I know. People on bikes tend to gravitate to the same routes because we seek out the respite that comes from infrastructure separated from automobiles. On a bike, it’s easy to exchange a meaningful greeting or even stop in place to have a satisfying conversation. According to City of Calgary downtown mobility statistics, the number of people biking in and out of downtown at peak periods increased 252 per cent between 1996 and 2019. Over the same period, people driving in and out of downtown decreased by 8 per cent. Considering population growth over that period (44 per cent), this is an important indicator of…
