#UCalgary economics professor @trevortombe , who wrote the study alongside public policy and economics associate professor Jennifer Winter, says the facts reveal fairly minimal effects for most products from the #CarbonTax.

“We find that carbon taxes increase air transport costs by about 0.9 per cent,” he explained. “We find that food in B.C is only 0.3 per cent more expensive as a result of carbon taxes and clothing, only 0.2 per cent.” (2/2)

Hello all, I suppose I should do something of an #Introduction since I'm new here.

My name's J (they/them or ze/zir). I am a #queer #nonbinay and #neurodivergent PhD student in #sociolgy at #ucalgary

My work focuses on how #transgender nonbinary, & other gender diverse people use online queer fanworks as a space to explore gender.
I am also interested in topics around: #queertheory #trans studies, #comics #digitalsociology #genderstudies & #sexualitystudies

One downside of migrating servers is that your posts disappear (at least mine did). So here's my #introduction! I am a #geomorphologist at #UCalgary, focusing on rapid geological changes in high altitude & high latitude environments. In other words, I study #geohazards and #Quaternary environmental change in #glacial and alpine environments. I use variety of tools incl #satellite remote sensing & field mapping to understand how Earth changes shape on timescales of a few seconds to millennia.
