"Why American-style polarisation is spreading across the West"
Two words: algorithms and incentives. Mostly incentives. Until we modify or eliminate incentives, all we can do is watch as the fabric of society is pulled apart, strand by strand. www.ft.com/content/5060...

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason.
If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half.

If you're still waiting for "The Point" where climate change becomes reality, you have to ask why Hurricane Katrina wasn't the point? Or Hurricane Mitch? Or Hurricane Maria? Or Cyclone Idai? Or Camp Fire? Or the Australia fires?

This is a great figure. For all the doom & gloom about climate inaction, we have made a big dent over the past 25 years.
What started out as 3.5-4°C increase by 2100 is now down to 2-3°C. Of course, more work is urgently needed but this is progress! We don't let up now. h/t @hausfath.bsky.social

ungatedresearch.org is a wonderful public good being developed by Martin Abel and Susie Godlonton.
It's a website with links to the latest ungated version of papers published in several economics journals.
Especially valuable in LMICs where many scholars don't have access to the journals.
