Yeah just not talking about this isn't sustainable either

‘We are hurtling towards climate chaos’, is de eerste zin. Dit rapport zou aanleiding moeten zijn voor crisisberaad in ieder land, dit weekend, en als dat niet gebeurt, dan zou de bevolking hun leiders daartoe moeten dwingen door stakingen, demonstraties, oproer. Extreem? Klik op de link.

Trump/Wright/Burgum make war on a livable earth for their corrupt slimy oil cronies. Meet the Petro States destroying the economy and the future - U.S, Saudi, UAE, Russia.

EU-China troubles loomed large over the Brussels summit on Thursday — despite being left off the official council agenda. The diplomatic spat over the Dutch seizure of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia was explicitly mentioned on the doorstep by both Dutch and German leaders.

Ice-free conditions continue in the Barents Sea region of the #Arctic Ocean. This is one area that has observed some of the largest losses of ice over the last few decades... compare the older years (dark/purple lines) to today! Map of this region: zacklabe.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/b203...

At some point you have to ask whether it's economic policy or performance art

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

I think I understand the many reasons why people believe it's not worth it to phase out fossil fuels, but I also feel exhausted and vaguely insane living my life knowing that while the world seems normal on the surface, the fossil-fuel economy is, right now, breaking the world forever.

"The WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin said continued emissions of CO2 from human activities and an upsurge from wildfires were responsible, as well as reduced CO2 absorption by “sinks” such as land ecosystems and the ocean – in what threatens to be a vicious climate cycle." wmo.int/news/media-c...

L’approche néo-schumpeterienne de Philippe Aghion a largement inspiré les politiques économiques en Europe depuis le tournant des années 2000. Et singulièrement celle d’Emmanuel Macron 1/

Letterlijk het grootste verkiezingsonderwerp, maar te weinig moed onder politici en media om het te agenderen. Dit is geen kwestie van 'klimaatdoelen' maar van overleven. Waar zijn de grown ups in the room?

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

BlackRock's bitcoin ETF now manages nearly $100bn, making the asset manager the single largest known owner of bitcoin. The ETF now throws off nearly $250mn a year in fees for BlackRock. www.ft.com/content/0cc9...

Shots fired!

New paper with @glenpeters.bsky.social in Nature Communications today. We show how models and studies with a lot of scenarios in the IPCC scenarios database have a large impact on key findings, including emissions reductions, net-zero GHG year, and coal, gas, and oil consistent with 1.5°C.

“It is increasingly indefensible for news coverage of climate change not to make it clear that this crisis is driven by very specific human activities – primarily burning fossil fuels. And in second place is food, agriculture, forestry.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Damn dude, a piece of media doesn’t map 1:1 to your preferred politics? That’s crazy, are you okay? Do you need anything?

Yesterday The Intercept posted the piece I wrote for them to X. That account has 800K followers. As of now, the post has 5,500 impressions, 8 likes, and the only reply includes a Pepe the Frog image and the n-word. So yes, seems like the algorithm is working as intended!

🚨Scholarship! How does a currency become widely adopted internationally? Focusing on the euro, Profs. @jvtk.bsky.social & @steffenmurau.bsky.social highlight the role of state-led governance. Successful currency internationalization, they suggest, is seldom a purely market-driven phenomenon.

The Trump/UAE/AI/Crypto scam, graphically presented

🚨New article🚨 Why has the promise of universal ownership been broken, as @benbraun.bsky.social has suggested? Our argument: because the Big Three are hardly universal. They mainly invest in those that can insulate themselves from environmental harm - big tech & financials in the Global North. 🧵

Not sure what you're doing this Sunday night but I am sitting here fascinated/mesmerised by @steffenmurau.bsky.social @rikereimer.bsky.social + research (& interactive instrument!) on the GFC/EZ crisis through the lens of the Monetary Architecture Framework and its balance-sheet based perspective.

The 2003-2005 change in the ECB's collateral framework towards a market/rating agency orientation prefigured the Greek disaster. This has been emphasized consistently since years, in the work of @jvtk.bsky.social & many others, but it continues to send chills down my spine every time I read it.

We don't talk nearly enough about this (Bayoumi 2018)

This was the absolute norm for any US politician until, well, Trump. Even Mike Pence said it when he was booed at a staging of Hamilton just after they won in 2016.

Bring back woke science and its little fixations like, say, references?

Months of waiting but my review copy of The War on Science has arrived. I read Krauss’ introduction. What the fuck happened to this man? He comes off as incapable of basic research, argument, basic scholarship. He sounds stupid. I look into strange claims he makes and they’re demonstrably false

Draghi's vision of competitive polluting is a great opportunity to rethink tobacco red tape, big gdp boost and cost savings from lower life expectancy

Some Good News, everybody! "Nonprofit environmental organization the Ocean Cleanup has announced that it's on track to eliminate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2034"

Such bad reporting on the speech, if you then hear what he means by "competitiveness"... unregulated tech companies, forever chemicals and combustion engines! Draghi is himself a fossil

Mask off moment for Draghi...

For FX management, but also to minimise balancesheet losses, the favorite @sebdiessner.bsky.social central bank folk theory! Also, they delegate voting rights in these companies to external providers tasked to ensure "good governance" (aka blank check), cf. @jvtk.bsky.social. Very close to AMC
