Radical candour for Ed Miliband The climate is changing and we should take that seriously. But climate policy is leading us to ruin, often on unscientific foundations: the now implausible high emissions scenario RCP8.5.

📣I said I oppose wealth taxes.

😡People replied: ‘You’re corrupt. Self-interested. Bought.’”

🤦🏻‍♂️That’s the fundamental attribution error - it’s why people think they are on the moral high ground as they attack viciously.

Tariffs are terrible – but Trump may save free trade In politics, asking nicely for sound policy based on high principle does not work. Alas. Trump's policy is massively disruptive and potentially hugely damaging: how could good come of it?
