Arthur Rackham's illustration for the 1915 edition of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol,' sees Scrooge visited by the ghost of his former business partner Marley, who wanders the earth shackled by chains and cashboxes after his lifetime of greed.

New paper! How are emissions scenarios 📉 from the IPCC (and other sources) actually used by decision-makers? We asked them, and the results are out just in time for the holidays 🧑‍🎄🤶🧑‍🎄 (with @idasogn.bsky.social & @climansen.bsky.social)

"Peakers," power plants "meant to run only in short bursts during periods of spiking electricity demand," are "often decades-old, fossil-fueled facilities" that "emit more pollution when they are running and cost more to produce electricity..." Data center demand is keeping them online.

Interesting short piece by Carolyn Sissoko on the institutional role of banks in a credit economy.

Carolyn Sissoko @csissoko.bsky.social · 3d

I riff on @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social’s discussion of institutions and growth to explain why banking may be an important missing link in economists’ understanding of how and why growth takes place.

New paper out - on why there won't be a return to the golden age of inflation targeting. Empirical material focused on the Reserve Bank of Australia, but the argument applies broadly, I feel.

My chapter with Chris Ebert is finally online! We view the asiento from Salvador da Bahia—the South Atlantic's main commercial hub. Brazil was the largest destination for enslaved Africans, yet it's usually absent from asiento scholarship. We ask: why was Brazil never supplied by foreign slavers?

Exxon is happy to help the tech industry meet its greenwashing needs, claiming that 90% of emissions from fossil-powered data centers will be captured. Never mind that CCS has never been successfully deployed at a gas plant and no CCS facility has ever come close to 90%. @emorwee.bsky.social

Exxon’s new greenwashing ploy

The oil giant claims it can eliminate more than 90 percent of emissions from gas-powered AI facilities. Critics say that’s nonsense.
