1️⃣Elena Dilger und @linusmattauch.bsky.social befassen sich mit dem "Klimaschutzparadoxon" - also mit der Frage, warum die starke Zustimmung der Bevölkerung bisher nicht zu entsprechender Politik führt. www.klimafakten.de/kommunikatio...

"New civil rights violations will be imagined, new vistas of anti-Americanism on campus will be discovered, and the attacks will continue." My colleague Suresh Naidu nails it. The deal might as well say, "souls will be searched." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...

Is decarbonization dead? @janeaflegal.bsky.social & I join Ezra Klein to talk through how Trump just shredded America's most ambitious climate policy, what survived, and where we go from here. Listen @nytimes.com or wherever you get your podcasts. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/o...

🧵Introducing the Trump Action Tracker website! Today I’m launching www.trumpactiontracker.info - a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far). 1/14

This fall, I'll join the University of Oxford as Professor of Social Policy, Inequality & Opportunity. I'll also become the Director of the Economics, Inequality and Opportunity Program at INET Oxford, and will join @nuffieldcollege.bsky.social as a Professorial Fellow.

🧵 Sündenbock Klimapolitik? Klimaschutz wird zuletzt oft für Wettbewerbsverluste, Deindustrialisierung & Wohlstandseinbußen verantwortlich gemacht. In @politischemeinung.bsky.social argumentieren wir: Das ist irreführend. Aus mindestens 3 Gründen führt an einem ehrgeizigen Klimakurs kein Weg vorbei.

#EAERE2025 is here! This morning, we already had an excellent pre-EAERE workshop on Climate Policy in Low-and Middle Income countries. Now, I am looking forward to an interesting conference and meeting many old friends and making new ones @eaere.bsky.social

Some good news about climate change for the weekend: For mitigation, the people are not the problem – at least not for global approaches with redistribution. See our new paper, led by @adrien-fabre.bsky.social , www.nature.com/articles/s41... @nathumbehav.nature.com @pik-potsdam.bsky.social (1/6)

“Our job is to evaluate science and evaluate it in an unbiased fashion,” Dr. Rubin said. “That’s what we do and I think we do it well. The questions seem to suggest that there’s some bias in what we do — that’s where the vaguely threatening part comes in.” @nejm.org

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

🤩🤩 Paper finally out in the AER! With my co-authors (incl. @bluebery-planterose.com & @s-stantcheva.bsky.social) we surveyed climate attitudes in 20 countries covering 72% of global emissions. In brief, people want ambitious, global, and fair climate policies. A 🧵⬇️ www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

#Koalitionsvertrag: ich bin gespannt, wie man genau "Preissprünge im #ETS2 vermeiden" will. Will man auf EU-Ebene noch mal das ETS2 Paket aufmachen? Und will man auch Preissprünge nach unten vermeiden, zb über einen nationalen #Mindestpreis? Denn 2026 haben wir national schon einen Preis von 65€...

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

On 21 Feb, the @esabcc.bsky.social will release a report on how to support a rapid and sustainable scale up of #carbon dioxide removals to reach EU climate targets. Webinar on 25 Feb, sign up here: climate-advisory-board.europa.eu/news/eu-clim... #EUClimateAction #ClimateNeutrality #CarbonRemoval

Here is United States law regarding the President's attempts to close our development assistance agency in secret over the weekend. It is illegal. No ambiguity. Americans decide with their actions, today, if the US is a country of laws or—something else. —> crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/...

Little to add to that headline, I'm afraid: "EPA spending freeze continues despite court orders" And, of course, the problem goes well beyond the EPA www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

JFK on why he founded USAID. “The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.

Does microtargeting work? The idea that people can be manipulated by political messages that are furtively tailored to their personality or other vulnerabilities has triggered much concern. But how well founded are those concerns? 1/n

The fossil fuel lobby's wildest dreams are coming true: Department of Transportation seeks to eradicate all documents, policies, funding programmes that merely "reference or relate in any way to" climate change. "Oh, don't take Trump literally" - somehow, nobody is saying that any longer.

It’s very interesting to me that the smartest person in the room when it comes to the economy in the Canadian Federal election is also “racking up endorsements” related to addressing the #ClimateCrisis. It reinforces the obvious truth: smart economic policy & smart climate policy are the same thing.

New study shows regulatory responses to ultra-processed foods worldwide lack teeth. Most measures are about labelling, many rely on voluntary agreements with the food industry, and hardly any address the structural drivers of UPFs. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Yesterday was a big day for sanctions on Russian oil. The Biden Administration announced major steps to strengthen enforcement of the price cap, including actions against almost 200 tankers and major oil traders. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Biden subtweets Trump during his eulogy for Jimmy Carter

What is Justin Trudeau’s legacy on climate? - Transformative climate policies. This is the fed govt that finally moved from announcing targets and plans to actually adopting policies - Achilles heel on oil and gas. - The legacy is fragile but is that Trudeau or Canada? Bear with me for a long 🧵.
