En 2026, les californiens vont peut-être adopter une taxe de 5% sur la fortune des milliardaires. Par référendum, car leur gouverneur (démocrate...) s'oppose à taxer la fortune.

Cette proposition évite toutes les critiques formulées à l'encontre de la taxe Zucman. ⬇️

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

😍 On peut faire voter le conseil à la majorité qualifiée sur les questions fiscales !!!
Il suffit d'arguer que le dumping fiscal induit des "distorsions de concurrence sur le marché intérieur". Ce qui est complètement justifié selon Eva Joly.

🔴 Much expected report commissioned by hashtag#COP30 presidency (ping Ana Toni) to Catherine Wolfram and her team, who brought some leading environmental economists on board. This report will serve as the basis of negotiations on international carbon pricing. A critical summary:
I'm delighted to announce the release of the Flagship Report of the Global Climate Policy Project at Harvard and MIT Working Group on Climate Coalitions on "Building a Climate Coalition: Aligning Carbon Pricing, Trade, and Development."

C'est le synopsis de "l'an 01", film génial de 1972 produit avec Charlie Hebdo: une utopie qui montre comment renverser le système dans la joie.

Une source d'inspiration pour le mouvement "on bloque tout" ?

Researcher Pro Tip: When you publish in a Nature *** journal, put a garbage email address, not your professional one.

Since I published in Nature Human Behavior, I am HARASSED by predatory journals and conferences, on average two invitations per day to give a keynote or edit a special issue.

Should the carbon price be the same across countries and sectors?

Four kinds of imperfections call for differentiated carbon prices:
1. Different growth rates
2. Market power in trade
3. The presence of country- or sector-specific distorsive taxes
4. A constraint preventing cross-country transfers

The potential for CO2 is prudently estimated at 0.7°C of warming.

Meaning if we stay on the current trajectory of +2.7°C in 2100 (and not even net-zero by then), it will hardly be possible to reverse to +1.5°C.
NEW STUDY: How much CO2 can we safely store in geological formations?

In a new @nature.com study, we cross-check established academic and industry estimates with various risk factors.

We find a prudent geological CO2 storage limit that is about 10x smaller. /1

Excellente analyse de Harold Levrel sur la loi Duplomb : www.alternatives-economiques.fr/harold-levre...

En un mot : elle avantage des agriculteurs (betteraviers, céréaliers) riches et ne fait rien voire nuit aux agriculteurs pauvres (apiculteurs, maraichés...)
La loi Duplomb est aussi un non-sens économique

German voters' assessment of their party program on climate action (left) and what it should be (right).
Bottom-line: across the political spectrum, voters want their party to be more ambitious on climate action (though AfD voters don't care a lot about climate).
Aktuelle Daten der #PACE-Studie zeigen:
In Deutschland besteht eine breite Zustimmung zu #Klimaschutz.
Woran es mangelt ist ein Glauben an die politische Umsetzung.

German people want to work less and earn less (keeping hourly wage constant).
This is particularly true for women, high-income, and middle-age people.
The authors calculate that a 4-day workweek would improve welfare in Germany.
In the U.S. though, people want to work more.

The costs and benefits of a shorter workweek
Policy proposals like the four-day workweek have gained momentum in the aftermath of the Covid recession, raising the question of how many hours people would choose to work. This column uses survey data to establish people’s willingness to pay for additional leisure time in terms of forgone earnings, and vice versa. The findings suggest that many workers in Germany and the UK would happily pay for more leisure and that, thanks to productivity gains, tighter hours caps might bring net positive welfare effects even after accounting for a smaller tax base and reduced capital returns.

This report promises to be influential ahead of #COP30.
