I don't remember this being a successful pitch-meeting scene, but hey I guess that's why the Prezzo folks make (made?) the big bucks? 💷👨‍🍳

Across Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, United Kingdom, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa, and Türkiye, we see continued high support for the #greeneconomy.

We replicate (!) our 2024 finding - 7/10 'prioritising environmental protection, even if it slows economic growth'.

Says it right there on the chart. If the Luftwaffe get you on your 24th shot, and you never walk again - nada.

Excellent discovery that Bluesky's AI moderation (entirely appropriately) doesn't understand sarcasm.

'[Climate change contributing to Hurricane Melissa by] strengthening top wind speed by 10 mph, and increasing potential damages by 50%.'

Environmental changes that sound small can have massive effects when they key cross breakpoints and thresholds.

Really interesting.
Colour me surprised that this has some robustness to it. On the face of it, those results looked too strong to be plausible.

I'd still look at some of the timing here and want to dig into what changed with the instruments from 2022 onward... Green stimulus/green deal terms?

"This is not genocide. Trust us, if we wanted to carry out genocide, we could do it."

I mean, what do you say anymore.

And where it's not, it's part of managing nature-based solutions to the development *we've already done* - where yet more grey infrastructure won't make the cut or be cost-effective.

The 'cut through all the nonsense and build' attitude risks no nature, no resilience, and no more livable houses.

This one tipped me over this morning.
Why the horse. Human emotional responses are so irrational.

What do you say. How do we stop the death laid on deaths laid on deaths.
