This is honestly the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time- banning the use of the words burger & sausage on plant based products.

The world is burning & war ravaged, & this is what our Parliamentarians think they need to 'fix'?

P.S. Fish also don't have fingers, right @oisinc.bsky.social?

graphs from this paper on how what the Pope says matters not just rhetorically but also materially - and apparently the far right news have figured that out well:

Re 2) below, @lorenzocrippa.bsky.social and I have clear evidence of that:

In the immediate aftermath of the release of Francis‘ Laudato Si, Fox News made lots of noise bashing Francis for his “woke” green agenda.

Btw, this was also around the time of Trump’s candidacy to the 2016 primaries.

1) the Pope is following a tradition of concerned popes speaking out for human rights in ✝️ communities. Trump 2.0 is essentially a new crisis. bsky.app/profile/yusu...

2) expect the US far right establishment (Fox News etc) to mobilize against his message. They have systematically done it before.

Pope Leo told U.S. bishops visiting him at the Vatican on Wednesday that they should firmly address how immigrants are being treated by President Donald Trump's hardline policies, attendees said, in the latest push by the pontiff on the issue. For @reuters.com:

Some thoughts on the strategic logic behind Kemi Badenoch’s announcement that she’d scrap the Climate Change Act (CCA).
It serves two functions:
1️⃣ It appeals to lukewarm pivotal voters in marginal seats sceptical of costly green measures.
2️⃣ It is designed to

Not here to defend the D-leadership but asking for some streaming of any negotiations is exactly what a party that wants to unveil corruption and bullyism would do.

This is what the Five Star Movement in Italy did back in 2013 and I am not saying this is my cup of tea but their voters were into it.

Looking forward to hopping on a train later today and heading to Paris to present our "how Brexit harmed the environment" paper (cc @acalacino.bsky.social @hayleypring.bsky.social) tomorrow 🇫🇷

Thanks @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social for the invite!
Abstract of "Offshore Outlaws" paper by Calacino, Genovese and Pring: Globalization has led to various forms of international integration whose effect on environmental behavior has been a long-standing source of debate. Yet, in recent years, there has been a growing backlash against international institutions, in part motivated by the will of taking back control of national borders. Focusing on the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, this paper explores the effects of this type of backlash on firms' environmental standards. Despite being defined as a sovereignist project to enhance state power and national regulatory oversight, we argue that Brexit caused immediate suboptimal environmental outcomes. Specifically, Brexit created policy misalignment, pushing the UK regulators into a capacity vacuum. This led to a transition period of impunity for polluting firms, further catalyzed by accelerating market changes, which led firms with lower environmental compliance to sort into the market. We test our theory with evidence from the oil sector's offshore rigs in the North Sea between 2015 and 2023. A grid-cell analysis of satellite-detected oil spills compares firm behavior in the United Kingdom, European Union, and Norwegian jurisdictions. We first find that, after Brexit, UK waters experienced significantly less environmental protection compared to the EU and Norway. Additionally, we show that the environmental damages following Brexit are not associated to a decrease of UK public salience for environmental protection, but by a new ecosystem of firms that were allowed to reap short-term profits from Brexit.
