I can’t express how much I despise that we, the rest of the world, have to deal with what is fundamentally a US problem (broken institutions that made possible to elect Trump twice)
I don’t want to think about Trump, I don’t want to waste my time on Trump, and yet, I’m kind of forced to do both

Trump keeps trying to deny climate change and denigrate clean energy because he knows that decarbonizing to net zero would drain the source of authoritarian power.
Climate silence only helps Trump.

Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

How is it that so many people think that authoritarianism is a way to bypass completely public opinion?

I feel like we’re underreacting to the Trump regime kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation. If another country did that, we would think it’s totally unhinged.

The sooner the world sheds its addiction to fossil fuels, the better. The alternatives are available, plentiful and cheaper.

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

After this, the EU should absolutely proceed on the assumption that Trump meant what he said about Greenland. Nothing is off the table anymore.

Grumpy opinion:
Too many young development economists are working on behavioral econ questions that are unimportant for development. The topics are amenable to small experiments that can nail mechanisms and demonstrate smarts via a clever design. The profession over-rewards those attributes.
