Which policies can support the scaling up of geological carbon removal? Our discussion with Francesca Battersby and Paul Davies, led by Steve Smith, is now online to watch at the link below. Thanks to @co2rehub.bsky.social for the invitation!

Studie: Menschen arbeiten trotz Grundeinkommens nicht weniger 1.200 Euro monatlich - ohne Bedingungen. Das erhielten Teilnehmer einer deutschlandweiten Studie. Sie zeigt: Das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen führt nicht zu weniger Arbeit, sondern zu mehr…

Today, the first results of our 3-year Basic Income Study in Germany were released publicly.
Here some initial press coverage by ARD (In German):

Reine Männerpodien? Sind wieder ~okayer geworden. Ist doch alles eh schon anstrengend und Frauen sagen immer ab. So hab ich's zuletzt wieder sehr häufig gehört.
Nein. Ist nicht okay.

Und wir werden euch wieder und wieder und wieder und wieder daran erinnern.

My understanding is that these projections are based on policies submitted via countries’ NDCs under the Paris Agreement and thus don’t reflect the most recent policy developments. And no, the IPCC AR6 has above 4C warming as worst case, 2.7C is “expected” based on 23/24 policies.

We've reached 1.5°C global warming.
With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7°C warming.
A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. 🌊

Submit to present at the Women in Empirical Microeconomics Conference at UChicago. Thanks to the organizers for inviting me to participate in this great event!

Conference is Aug 21-22. Submission deadline is Feb 28.

Planning your climate or environment syllabus? I like to show short videos so students & I can visualize some of the things we're talking about. Here are some of the ones I like:

Warum es wichtig ist, sich der unglaublich positiven Entwicklungen der letzten Jahrzehnte bewusst zu sein:

Wenn wir fälschlicherweise denken, dass alles schlechter wird, dann können wir zynisch und hoffnungslos werden – was zu Passivität, aber auch zu Extremismus führen kann.

this is fantastic, thanks so much Pedro!

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to
- not publish
- have outstanding publication records
- introduce more novel scientific concepts
- less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.

It is a while since I posted this, but just your annual reminder that Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) will never scale to compensate all emissions (& it would be a ludicrously expensive alternative to reductions).

If you like your money, then the razor-sharp focus would be on reducing emissions!

Webinar: Carbon Brief journalists discuss COP29’s key outcomes - Carbon Brief Less than 48 hours after the gavel came down at COP29, Carbon Brief ran a webinar to talk through all the key outcomes from the summit in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Global biodiversity offsetting doesn’t work – keep schemes local, say experts Voluntary standards proposed at Cop16 focus on local like-for-like habitat projects, while critics call the issue a ‘distraction’

“My main concern about biodiversity credits is not that they’re harmful – they can’t do much harm if not many people buy them. My main concern is the way they steal the political discourse & political capital away from more important & impactful solutions.” Sophus zu Ermgassen, University of Oxford

Okay, the first Women in Econ starter pack was such a success that we quickly hit the BlueSky starter pack limit (150 accounts). But, I've got a version 2.0 with even more awesome economists you should follow!

Hey all, I created a starter pack with a list of Black economists and academics for an easily accessible list of folks doing research that we can all follow and cite #Blacksky #AddtoBlacksky #Econsky: go.bsky.app/RyKSzcb

Global CO2 emissions keep going up.

Thanks so much, Riley! I would love to be added

Thank you, super interesting!

For a short break from politics: I am including more papers on the workings of environmental policy instruments in the Global South in my teaching, and would be super grateful for suggestions of your favorite papers (& happy to share my reading list, of course)! Thank you! #EconSky #EnvEcon

Biodiversity is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg0344), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

Maybe others will find this useful - I made a simple feed searching for posts with papers linked on Bluesky with climate related keywords.
