I am a huge fan of "what is this kind of argument and how can you do it right?" papers. I collect them and I've tried to write a couple, and think they can be tremendously useful especially for teaching. A new, useful addition to this set just arrived from @sociologicalsci.bsky.social:

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

Interesting reflection on the need to accompany national competition in green technologies with global cooperation to solve shared environmental risks, and avoid mercantilism (a major challenge today given the protectionist push of the US).
