Va del Reino Unido y la próxima victoria de Farage, pero también de Europa, Trump, EEUU y el mundo si piensas como yo que desde 2008 la gran demanda del electorado (insatisfecha) a izquierda, centro y derecha es cambiar un sistema que tiene pánico a renovarse.

While I agree with much of what Stephen Bush argues here, I think this claim is overly simplistic: "This shouldn’t need saying in 2025 but markets and globalisation are good."

I just finished reading Sven Beckert's history of the development of the global cotton industry. It's a bit repetitive in its main theses, and sometimes a bit of a slog, but well worth reading for those interested in the history of trade and industrial policy.

If every single ton of this 1,460 GtCO2 would be used to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, we could reverse 0.7°C of global warming.

NEW STUDY: How much CO2 can we safely store in geological formations?

In a new @nature.com study, we cross-check established academic and industry estimates with various risk factors.

We find a prudent geological CO2 storage limit that is about 10x smaller. /1

Maybe about time to shelve the 'beg the West for reparations' approach (Lat Am & Afr) and lean into BRICS-'I will set the terms once I'm strong enough' approach. Not necessarily either/or; but 1st is fleeting, 2nd is enduring. 2nd also serves justice better.

Geopolítica UE, s. XXI: capear el ascenso de Asia o jugar al resurgir de Eurasia.

China is simply not going to quit, and that's going to draw most of the world into their supply chain and eventually strategic sphere. By rejecting energy decarbonization, the US is simply pushing most of the world into China's sphere, and away from themselves. 4/n
