The real drivers of future inflation are not just tariffs, but the climate crisis and states backing off their decarbonization efforts.

Here's bit of an explainer I was involved in on how the NEM works, and the energy transition unfolding within it.

Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the global trade regime are chaotic and uncoordinated.

As economist Ha-Joon Chang tells Jacobin, Trump has failed to see that the cause of the US’s relative decline is its own domestic capitalist class.

HRRR? RRFS? Those models don’t exist without NOAA’s Global Systems Lab.

The physics used in even more models? Not possible without us.

Decision-support tools like DESI and IDSS Engine used throughout the NWS? Also us.

What my lab does is *integral* to weather prediction and keeping people safe.

Challenge accepted, Amy. So here's one bull case for the energy transition.

Chinese economic growth will fall as a result of Trump's tariffs. Its leadership is already discussing injecting a stimulus. Now typically stimulus in a carbon-heavy economy is more emissions, but... 🧵
I’m gonna say something that is going to sound crazy, but when has that ever stopped me from saying something publicly: there is a way in which the U.S. chucking its position in the world could actually fast-track energy transition. A few things that have me thinking this way 🧵

The return of the chlorinated chicken? Trump administration uses tariffs to push for radical EU deregulation ⚠️

Can a European Commission that has itself embarked on radical #deregulation be trusted to stand firm in defense of high regulatory standards? 🤔

Time really is a circle. Leveraged hedge funds make billions; bets blow up; dash for cash; the Fed steps in; repeat. Here's what I wrote four years ago about central banks as guarantors of this unjust and inefficient (some might say: stupid) system.

If you limit demand growth from corrosive sources (like Bitcoin and image generators) you get far more room for stuff like 'saving people's lives during heatwaves' and 'moving people from their home to their work without choking them to death with air pollution'

It is WILD how controversial this is

Despite all the hype about oil being a great investment compared to renewables, the US industry apparently lost money as a whole LAST year. These prices will do some real damage and reveal a lot of their lies.

From the latest Dallas Fed survey

"Breakeven prices in the Permian Basin average $65 per barrel, unchanged from last year."

That would indicate the whole Permian Basis is now operating at a loss. Oops.

BBC: Why don't women use ChatGPT?

Woman: I tried it and it just barfed out useless garbage

BBC: Women don't use ChatGPT because it's too difficult for their pretty little heads
Bit of an odd story this one - the main analysis says women don't use AI because they lack STEM skills, confidence and value in the workplace. Yet the anecdotes suggest that women excel at communication, whether writing or interpersonal, and can spot ChatGPT's flaws
www.bbc.co.uk/news/busines...
Why are fewer women using AI than men?
The use of artificial intelligence appears to have a significant gender imbalance.
