The European Commission on Trump's tariffs, vs the European Commission on EU tariffs:

"In perhaps the biggest change of all, for the first time in 130 years Denmark will not have an agriculture minister. In their place will be a minister for nature and animal welfare, with the agriculture portfolio split between that department and four others." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Je sais que leur présence est controversée, mais elles sont quand même très élégantes...

Great to see fermentation & cultivated food technology included in Germany's new high-tech agenda and biotechnology roadmap This is the type of public investment that can establish early leadership in up-and-coming sectors gfieurope.org/blog/hightec...

Bonjour @mediapartblogs.bsky.social 👋 Une tribune publiée sur votre Club reprend des éléments de langage des lobbies de la viande, contient des affirmations fausses, et compte parmi ses signataires des personnes aux conflits d'intérêts documentés. C'est embêtant. blogs.mediapart.fr/sandrine-bar...

Pub aperçue au Salon de l’agriculture. Même TotalEnergies n’aurait pas osé

🧵 Avec une vingtaine de chercheurs, spécialistes de l'alimentation, personnalités engagées, et professionnels de santé, nous publions une tribune sur la désinformation concernant la viande rouge dans les médias. Exemple récent : l'émission "Qui veut être mon associé ?" sur M6 (29 janvier).

Veronika confirmed all our predictions, but she did much more. She exceeded all our expectations. As predicted, Veronika used the brush about 2.5 times more than the stick and used the tool only to reach areas that were difficult or impossible to reach otherwise.

Bonjour, pour information, l'étude sur la redistribution élargie a été mise à jour l'an passé. La redistribution élargie divise par 6,3 le ratio des niveaux de vie entre les individus plus aisés et les plus modestes. 👉 www.insee.fr/fr/statistiq...

Je vous recommande avec enthousiasme ce podcast en 4 fois 1h de Pauline Chanu sur le spécisme. C'est un travail formidable qui a été réalisé et j'ai eu l'honneur de faire partie des 30 personnes qui ont été interviewées, pour évoquer les liens avec le capacitisme. www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

Exactement, en retirant l'expression on perd une information pertinente. Un "pavé végétal" on sait pas si ça remplace bien un steak ordinaire. Pareil pour un "jambon végétal", on sait que c'est parfait pour un sandwich Gleckel (2020) montrait bien que c'est l'interdiction qui engendre la confusion ⤵️

I found another fun Veo 3 prompt: "Realistic footage of the moon landing, but it took place in [year]" Here is 1883 AD, 1255 AD, 44 AD, 2300 BC, 30,000 BC, and 65 million years ago Yes, there was apparently wind on the moon back then, you are just going to have suspend disbelief a bit.

New paper says we need to protect existing forests for carbon removal. "Despite a focus on new forests for natural climate solutions, protecting existing young secondary forests can provide up to 8-fold more carbon removal per hectare than new regrowth." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Donc le lobby des produits laitiers a bataillé (et gagné) pour interdire l'appellation "lait" pour les boissons végétales au prétexte que c'était trompeur pour le consommateur, tout ça pour qu'on se retrouve avec du "lait de foin" qui vient à 100 % de vaches. 🥸 theconversation.com/le-lait-de-f...

Time to re read some economics of conflict 😬 I left it in 2007 at this superb review (of mostly theoretical work)by Garfinkel and Skaperdas

2/12 We estimate that AI adoption could increase US energy consumption by ~28 PJ per year. That's about 0.03% of total US energy use. It's a small percentage, but still a significant amount of energy!

« rangelands should therefore most sensibly be rewilded, providing important nature-based carbon sequestration and biodiversity benefits »

Actually it is slightly more carbon intensive according to the paper and even without accounting for the carbon opportunity cost of land used

There is no scientific evidence for any meaningful climate benefits of "grass-fed" beef, as many people, including myself and @gnrosenberg.bsky.social, have long been saying. This news study in PNAS further strengthens this point. newrepublic.com/article/1637...

“it’s not that people are walking around thinking, “I’m not so sure about this Obama guy. Omg, he was born outside the United States. I guess I won’t support him.” Rather, they walk around disliking Obama strongly and therefore are more likely to be exposed to and to believe this misinformation”

China has a long way to go to reduce CO2 emissions. But in recent years they have been building far more clean energy technology than the US: 7x more EVs, 9x more solar, and 11x more wind. We risk ceding 21st century clean energy dominance to the Chinese.

INRAE is recruiting: a vacancy for a researcher in our unit should open up soon! Do you have a PhD? This vacancy may be of interest to you. PARIS Saclay Applied Economics, located in Palaiseau (France), should soon be offering a permanent position for a research fellow.
