I am happy to announce that I will be a visiting fellow at the Käte Hamburger Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies for the next seven months. Looking forward to great conversations about the end of the world and to living in Germany!

While their are other interpretations, my view is that top- down target-setting global agreements just aren't usually all that effective. They are more an effect then a driver of real change.
Two years ago, scores of world leaders promised to take bold action to tackle global warming at a U.N. climate summit in Scotland.
Today, countries are still far from meeting much-hyped promises, even as the impacts of climate change intensify across the globe.

Nations made bold climate pledges. They aren’t close to meeting them.
Countries announced ambitious plans to end deforestation and slash methane emissions at the U.N. climate summit in 2021. They aren’t delivering.

An excellent investigation. Much like the NYT's reporting of nPB poisoning years ago, it shows how utterly toothless that OSHA is and the struggles of American workers to have a safe job site.
Much has been reported on the human costs associated with manufacturing Tesla's vehicles. This is the best story I've read on the human costs of building Musk's rockets at SpaceX. Just incredible reporting. www.reuters.com/investigates...
At SpaceX, worker injuries soar in Elon Musk’s rush to Mars
Reuters documented more than 600 workplace injuries at SpaceX. Employees say they’re paying the price for Elon Musk’s push to reach Mars at breakneck speed.
