With the world's eyes on US oil interests, let's not forget who benefits: The richest of the rich. Our research shows: 50% of the record fossil fuel profits in 2022 went to the wealthiest 1% of US Americans, the bottom 50% only received 1%. Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

💼Last week the Chancellor told the Bank of England to continue considering the materiality of nature related financial risks, as she did in 2024. 🌳But, despite publishing it’s big, twice yearly assessment of financial risks, the Bank did not mention nature once. (1/2)

Complete agreement with Jo here.

The arms race is undermining the green transition as critical minerals are diverted for the military. Our briefing on the Pentagon’s return to stockpiling from Lorah Steichen in @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/dec/04/critical-minerals-military-us-pentagon-climate-crisis

As sea ice melts, the Arctic is turning into a gateway for resources and trade—transforming our economy on a global scale. Returning from spending the summer writing his new book, @meadwaj.bsky.social looks back at the key economic stories of the summer along with some you may have missed 🎧👇

"Food inflation has been rising also in the rest of Europe as a result of increased commodity costs, often linked to climate change events"...

"In mainstream economics, dealing with climate change is an issue of trade-offs: how much growth do we sacrifice today to limit damage tomorrow? But if tipping points are real and ecological damage is irreversible, the basis for this form of economic thinking is destroyed" - @meadwaj.bsky.social
