babe wake up the president is going to start a diplomatic war with Colombia

Imperdible réplica de Branko Milanovic a Martin Wolf, jefe de economía del Financial Times.

Incluye una crítica el FT y un listado de razones de cómo economistas, prensa y multilaterales desmontan en silencio el neoliberalismo, con o sin Trump:

Decarbonisation threatens the very structure of intl order, founded on fossil-fuelled economic growth and interdependence

Can Climate action survive geopolitical fragmentation? Can it thrive on a tightrope?

Warning BRICS nations against replacing the US dollar suggests just how confused the incoming administration is about the global trade and capital system. Maintaining USD dominance is completely inconsistent with stated US trade policies.

We don't have a plastics treaty. More than 100 nations wanted to cap plastic production while a handful of oil-producers were prepared only to target waste.

One of those producers is, of course, the US.

🇺🇸 AGORA: Donald Trump, presidente eleito dos Estados Unidos, ameaça taxar em 100% países do BRICS se ousarem criar uma nova moeda para substituir “o poderoso dólar americano”.

Some shocking nonsense from France here. No one gets immunity from an ICC arrest warrant because they're in office - not Netanyahu, not Putin, no one.

See Article 27 of the Rome Statute: www.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul...

This summer, a French court of appeal upheld a French arrest warrant for Bashar al-Assad.
That warrant does not even have the imprimatur of an int'l court (the key factor in ICC holdings that its warrants for Putin & al-Bashir override status immuties): www.justiceinitiative.org/newsroom/fre...

After Donald Trump vowed on Monday night to impose tariffs of 25% on all imports from Mexico and Canada, Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum hinted at retaliation as the peso slid against the dollar. www.ft.com/content/af59...

Negotiations over a U.N. treaty to cut plastics have been bogged down. Environmental groups blame the oil and gas industry.

Given how hard it was to get rich countries to give just $300 billion a year to the developing world to decarbonize and deal with the impacts of extreme weather, how will we ever deploy CO₂ removal (CDR), which will cost trillions of dollars every year and mainly benefit the developing world?

"Historic": UN to convene in early 2027 an international conference for a new treaty on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Humanity, to be concluded in 2028. Details:

The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and one Hamas figure. (The other two are confirmed dead.)

Colombia has a big, ambitious plan to move away from dependency on fossil-fuel exports. It needs US money to get going, and environment minister is headed to Washington before Trump is in power. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Colombia is the biggest fossil fuel producer to have signed up to the Beyond Oil & Gas Alliance. It needs international support to diversify its economy away from coal and oil exports. #COP29 is a chance to send the right signals
