This Admin has been a Big Tech coup from Day 1.

Now 5 Europeans who have regulated or monitored big tech for hate and disinformation are barred from the US.

Chilling stuff.

According to Rubio, the infraction is: "targeting American speakers and American companies.”

I’m convinced he won the 2024 election with ‘eating the dogs, eating the cats’ — it was the only memorable thing from that debate and people mocking him kept it going for weeks.

Remind me, why should they necessarily have been the host for the next COP?

PS they’re still in charge of the negotiating agenda

Does anyone here know if any of the left-leaning shows are focused mainly on economic populism and economic justice? Genuinely curious.

Why can’t he win next year too? I didn’t see otherwise in the rules.

I hope it's clear why sometimes hearing from some of my colleagues in the climate movement that this issue is a 'nothing-burger' is deeply stunning to me

I think this addresses which messaging approach — breadth or depth — ends up having a greater average impact on opinions across the population. But it doesn’t address which — breadth or depth — has greater political impact and efficacy. Is that a correct understanding?

Or to put it another way: what will the effect of Jevons’ paradox be?

Yes of course. My point’s a bit different: Electrification/RE is more efficient. Experience shows that means we will expand our use of energy well beyond what’s needed for current uses (rebound effect). That in turn could slow down replacement of fossils with electricity/RE. That’s a climate problem

Totally agree on this, but there’s a nagging worry in the back of my mind about Jevons paradox/the efficiency rebound effect. What if this means we end up using more energy overall and that slows down our transition away from fossils?
