UK food inflation is being driven by climate change-induced extreme weather, driving up price of butter, milk, beef, chocolate & coffee

The price rises in those staples is contributing 40% of overall food inflation

Climate change is hitting peoples' pockets, right now

Five staples fuelling UK food inflation as climate risks rise, study finds

Findings challenge narrative that food price growth is being driven by higher taxes and wage costs

Good references that explain the difference between degrowth and recession are @jasonhickel.bsky.social's Less Is More (2020) and @giorgoskallis.bsky.social's Degrowth (2018)

Loved the @boldpolitics.bsky.social episode with @graceblakeley.substack.com! Only comment it's so important not to equate degrowth / postgrowth with recession! DG/PG are non-capitalist economic systems which prioritise equitable wellbeing & ecological outcomes & make them independent from growth.

As usual, the media didn't pay much attention to the Green Party conference. But there is much to be inspired here - wealth taxes, ending privatisation of essential infrastructures and services, pro-migration and diversity, ecological protection ...

Ein von Michael Zürn und mir verfasster Nachruf auf Claus Offe. Ein bemerkenswerter Mensch und Wissenschaftler www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...

Sozialwissenschaftler Claus Offe gestorben

Claus Offe prägte die Sozialwissenschaften mit scharfsinnigen Analysen und gesellschaftskritischen Perspektiven. Als Grenzgänger zwischen Soziologie und Politologie bleibt sein Werk wegweisend.

Dirk @dirkjcb.bsky.social · Oct 2

Claus Offe ist verstorben. In Erinnerung bleibt mir u.a. seine Begabung, den Kern komplexer Theorien und dicker Bücher in wenigen, leicht verständlichen Sätzen zusammenzufassen, seine die Welt erschließenden Vierfelder-Schemata und sein Gespür für die Paradoxien moderner Gesellschaften.

Milena Büchs 🌎🌻🐌 @mmbuchs.bsky.social · Oct 2

I'm deeply saddened by the news that Claus Offe has passed away. He had a profound influence on me as my PhD supervisor and I kept learning from him over the years. Thank you for everything and rest in peace!
