Our new paper "Financing ‘sustainable welfare’: a critical review of the options" has now been published in New Political Economy. In it, @nicklangridge.bsky.social and I assess financing options for welfare without growth and discuss wider policy implications. It's open access: tinyurl.com/y6z374x6

Should probably make this a permanent pinned post for reality check purposes. Assuming we reach 1.7C by 2050 (we are currently at 1.4C), we would need carbon dioxide removal of 400GtCO2 to get back to 1.5C. For context, the world currently emits 40GtCO2 annually. drilled.media/news/cop30-g...

Vi "är på väg mot en klimatkollaps om inte kraftfulla åtgärder vidtas nu. Är det då inte rätt att forskare och andra personer höjer sina röster och med de medel som står till buds i en liberal demokrati kritiserar en politik som leder i rakt motsatt riktning?" Av bl. a. @jeannetteeggers.bsky.social

The Norwegian national football team is likely to go far at the World Cup. But if they go there (and not boycott) they should at least travel by ship. Another take of our work on #football in the #climate emergency, this time in Norwegian: www.forskersonen.no/fotball-klim...

Why is it so hard to process the dismantling of democracy? Is there some trait in habitus that makes us believe in the continued power and efficiency of institutions even though these may have, from an 'objective' point of view, stopped functioning? Some kind of institutional hysteresis effect?

Sverige erbjuder sig att ta emot brännskadade från Schweiz, ett av världens rikaste länder. Däremot vägrar Sverige ta emot skadade från Gaza där sjukhus bombats sönder och vården inte fungerar. Den här regeringens hyckleri framträder i blixtbelysning.

Såhär skriver polisen:”[Alcer ägnar sig åt] brottsliga gärningar för att få igenom en förändring som endast kan ske medelst politiska beslut och bedöms därför som ett hot mot den demokratiska grundordningen” Civil olydnad ses som hot mot demokratin - jag hoppas alla förstår hur farlig den synen är.

David Alcer betonar en sak som vi alla borde har lärt oss under de senaste två år: "Vi kan inte prata om klimaträttvisa utan att prata om rättvisa för förtryckta folk."
