This view that China ‘should’ move towards a different economic model for seemingly no other reason that the West did it 40 years ago is odd - www.theguardian.com/business/202...

🚨New Publication 🚨 in New Political Economy with the one and [email protected]. We propose the term 'Green Financial Planning' to tie together many of the terms in political economy at the moment, and demonstrate that green finance is much more than a few loans/bonds with green names

I shared some of my thoughts on the International Energy Agency (IEA) new EV report in an interview with CBC last week. My thoughts are based on my forthcoming book, which is hopefully of interest to many on here - www.cbc.ca/news/science...

It's quickly getting to the point in writing my book where I'm going to have to re-read what I've written, which might be the worst part for, as all my co-authors can attest, proofreading is not my strong suit....

A cool video accompanying a blog I've written for @cepi-cips.bsky.social whilst working with @ryankatzrosene.bsky.social at the University of Ottawa. The blog is part of some ongoing work with @danbaileypoleco.bsky.social with more to follow.

In America freedom means working three jobs to afford the same quality of life as a prisoner in Norway

@james7jackson.bsky.social @markdoidge.bsky.social & I writing a book on football & climate change. And then James & I run into one of the main protagonists.

New Publication 🚨 - in which we outline the state of the ‘green’ central banking literature and possible avenues for the future.

We know energy transitions are disruptive. Mainstream models represent smooth lines - renewables going up, fossil fuels going down. How then should we think about the disruptive qualities of energy transitions? @manchestersci.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/

🚨 New Publication 🚨 Out in Energy Research and Social Science today with @matpaterson.bsky.social and others colleagues at @uompol.bsky.social, we propose a new political economy framework to capture the disruptive nature of green energy transitions - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"Bluesky is a liberal echo chambre"

Even nature is getting geopolitical - www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Well, I am shocked…

So let me get this straight. Musk's main business, Tesla, seems to be crashing due to his political meddling. Twitter is currently worth less than half of what he paid for it. And SpaceX is dependent upon government contracts. This is our genius businessman? electrek.co/2025/02/06/t...

Today, I reached the point in academia where a peer reviewer stated that there was a gap in my knowledge before going on to say that to rectify it I would need to read….. one of my articles. A milestone.

If it’s not happening already, someone needs to research this trend of people only using their phones on loudspeaker in public as if headphones had never been invented.

"If the world adopted a plant-based diet, we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares" Imagine 3 billion more hectares for fully wild ecosystems. Diet is THE elephant in the room when it comes to reversing nature collapse. ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets

Read this last year, definitely worth it

New Publication 🚨 - How might the Labour government use climate policy as a strategic political project? In this article, @matpaterson.bsky.social and I outline a possible option in this @renewaljournal.bsky.social special issue - journals.lwbooks.co.uk/renewal/vol-...

As in life, dogs are the hero

Windfall profits from climate destruction go to wealthy elites, contrary to narratives of benefiting pensioners. Interesting research!

"..in no province do we find that carbon pricing is a material driver of the affordability challenge" 👇👇 www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/11/n... Sadly, the political conversation around carbon pricing and affordability has left the facts behind a long time ago... (1/2)

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Great article on how the underlying causes of inflation are linked to climate breakdown - amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.theg... touching on many of the themes I outlined here - direct.mit.edu/glep/article...

hat happens if you place central banks at the center of the study of varieties of capitalism? This is what we try in our new article on the Nordic Model beyond the fiscal centric approach. (open acess here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....)

the DOGE agency will not have the authority to reallocate funds (nor would that be constitutional), it is a PR tool to create the impression that government spending is inherently wasteful and build political momentum for spending cuts
