No wonder other 'leaders' want to get rid of Pedro Sánchez. He speaks the truth: “Climate change kills: ... people ..., our ecosystem, our biodiversity, and it also destroys the things we as a society hold dear – our houses, our businesses, our livestock.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Die AfD wird zunehmend salon- und regierungsfähig gemacht – vor allem in den Medien. Längst unternimmt ein immer größer werdender Kreis von Akteuren alles mögliche, um eine Koalition mit der AfD vorzubereiten ..."

Angesichts der offensichtlichen Radikalität der AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt müsste von bürgerlicher Seite eigentlich alles zu klarer Abgrenzung tendieren. Faktisch geschieht das Gegenteil: »Halbloyale Demokraten« ebnen ihr den Weg: www.blaetter.de/ausgabe/2026...

If 'economists' have made up their minds it must be true: 'Growth is a doomed strategy'. You can still sign the Roadmap for eradicating poverty beyond growth (via a link in the article below) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We economists have done the maths: ‘growth’ is a doomed strategy – there is a better way | Olivier De Schutter and others

Our roadmap has been shaped by experts across the world. We call on political leaders at all levels to use it, says Olivier De Schutter and others

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

Financing ‘sustainable welfare’: a critical review of the options

The literature on ‘sustainable welfare’ argues that meeting everyone's needs within planetary boundaries requires the financing of welfare to become independent from economic growth. However, it re...

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...
