I have, for the 8th successive year, just paid my French taxes.
Which means for the 8th successive year, I have either successfully navigated the most complicate online procedure ever devised, or committed minor fraud.

When Tony Blair came to power in 1997, the UK economy was bigger than China and India combined.

Took you long enough. Glad UK ministers finally feel brave enough to speak the blatantly obvious truth. But we've crossed the Rubicon now - as much as I want it, returning would mean no longer having the previous opt outs (e.g. the pound, Schengen) as we'll have to take the aquis.

"Untruths were peddled by Brexiters"
"We should work to be closer to EU"
Labour should have said this 16 months ago when they came into office. Better late than never

Rough napkin math suggests that for 1% of GDP per year, Mexico could build enough solar to replace all their primary energy in about ten years, using less than 10% of the land area of the state of Chihuahua.
But then there's storage and transmission.

Politics is just one challenge. The cost of borrowing to build wind and solar farms is another, especially in fast-growing developing countries. There are solutions.

The end of dollar hegemony will transform U.S. debt from a fiscal drag into a high-yield fusion bomb.
For decades dollarization has generated structural demand for U.S. treasuries, depressing the interest rates the U.S. needs to offer to service its debt.

one thing that I think we really don't think about is if Trump fucks up America's macro privileges or role in the international system and Americans are forced to end up dealing with a economic system that doesn't allow for the same old fiscal fixes as before
god I remember the fandom Russian zoomers on Twitter during the start of the war who were either "what can I do, I can't be held responsible" or "wow it's so mean that the West sanctioned us from our favourite fandoms"

When I started to criticize wild promises for carbon dioxide capture & removal in 2022, I took *so much shit* from the energy modelers and journalists promoting it, but those same people are silent now that even the scientists who first imagined the tech are increasingly mounting the same criticism.

I worked on so-called bunker fuels for many years. The issues are complex but really, there's a lack of political will to take action and heavy regulatory capture by the industries, which are often quasi-governmental. Action is happening in both sectors, but slowly
CO₂ emissions from the two main "hard to abate" sectors aren't attributed to individual countries, which is kinda crazy.
International aviation (and shipping) are not allocated to countries.
