The G20 has removed language calling for the "transition away from fossil fuels," agreed on at COP28, from its leaders' statement in Rio.
You can call this backsliding, or you can call it murderous indifference. Really, up to you.

This paper on the political economy of climate risk models—or, the huge market for climate data and risk analytics which influence major financial institutions—is so damn good. Crystal clear explainer with incisive critical analysis, by @madisoncondon.bsky.social papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Those facing the harshest and most immediate impacts of #climatechange are the ones that have the quietest voice at the table. A financial target cannot go forward at #COP29 without guarantees for small island nations and developing countries.

The stated focus (for Ramaswamy at least) is savings by cutting employees. But the size of the federal govt in terms of employees is about where it was in 1960, even tho it is doing way more. As a % of the population, it is historically low. Most *civilian* employees are in defense/security sector.
