Christopher Monckton's climate change stance is deemed nonsense. While acknowledging the greenhouse effect, CO2's warming contribution, and human emissions, he asserts: "Yes, there is a greenhouse effect. Yes, CO2 contributes to it. Yes, it causes warming.

Strong positive social connections are key to happiness, both for individuals and cities. Charles Montgomery explored this concept at Sam Sullivan's February 2014 Public Salon in Vancouver, BC.

From Disneyland to Dubai, his work reveals how city design influences our thoughts, feelings, and actions. He demonstrates that by changing our relationship with the cities we inhabit, we can transform our own lives.
