Studying social science I was horrified by dominance of rational choice theory, but reluctantly acknowledge it describes an aspect of human behavior (reductively). Seems that many who subscribe to economic policy it informs are contradictory in rejecting how revolutionary 15 minute cities could be.

What is the working class? Many invoke it in this election, but no one defines it. How much is it economic, when a plumber can make 10x as much as adjunct professor? How much is it cultural/an identity, or the kind of labor? Why so many 1930s white-guy versions when so many are women and BIPOC?

I have tried endlessly to point out to white environmentalists that social justice and environmentalism cannot be separated - but for the past year it feels like it has fallen on mostly deaf ears. The silence on Gaza from ‘educated’ white privilege has been baffling, frustrating & devastating.

Labour's latest attack on welfare is a disgraceful assault on the dignity of the sick and disabled. If the government really wanted to crack down on people "gaming the system", they would go after tax dodgers hoarding our country's wealth.

Away from weak half promises & throwing a few coins at poor nations what COP29 has guaranteed is an ongoing escalation in the loss & damage imposed on typically poor, low emitting & climate vulnerable communities. For COPs, failure is actually success - as they are no longer about climate change.

Renewables are exceeding expectations - but so are emissions. Why? Part of the fossil economy's staying power comes from false promises of techno-neutralisation. CCS is the OG machine saviour. A new blog for you, on why its second coming hasn't come.

One of the most comprehensive studies available finds that in 2015 alone the imperial core appropriated $10 trillion from the periphery. Now, at COP29, imperial powers are promising to provide just $250bn in climate financing by 2035. That's a 40th of what was taken in that single year.

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. End all arms sales to Israel, now.
