From best to worst in class. This will of course be waived aside or completely ignored by the Swedish government and climate minister, but numbers will always be numbers.

Vi utvecklar nya frågeinstrument om vad människor uppfattar ger människor makt och inflytande i samhället. Fyll gärna i den här lite trubbiga enkäten (så här många frågor med parvisa jämförelser kommer det givetvis inte vara när instrumentet är färdigt) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Makt och inflytande i det svenska samhället
Det finns en diskussion om vilka omständigheter som bäst förklarar vilka individer som får mycket makt och inflytande i det svenska samhället. I den här enkäten är din uppgift att jämföra två faktor...

Are radical lifestyle changes needed to curb climate change? As ever with these kinds of commentaries, it’s reasonable to question what is meant by radical. Is it radical to advocate less flying among the top 1% earners? Not really, in my opinion.

New funding for a project on food consumption, climate and policy! Together with @mikaelkarlsson.bsky.social et al.

We will explore challenges and opportunities in steering towards more sustainable food systems, focusing particularly on primary producers and citizens.

Clear example of how some private interests keep lobbying against environmental protection to earn some extra bucks for their shareholders.

As ever, not much substance to the big business green claims when profit is in danger.

A great but disheartening figure that everyone should see. We must turn our attention towards these HUGE inequalities when making climate policy.
You need to see shocking extent of carbon inequality around the world.

A remarkable study led by Jared Starr finds that super-rich US households emit *2000 TIMES* more CO2e than average low-income country households.

How the f*ck is that even possible? The disparity never ceases to enrage me.

Great and tangible research. One of the many reasons we need to change discourses around climate change mitigation. EVs are great and all but, as ever, the simple solutions are usually the cheapest and most effective ones.

Finally decided to move from twitter (that’s its name) as many others have done. The obvious reason is ofc Elon Musk’s rising craziness, another is the huge troll tail I received after publishing my most recent study on rationing.
