Oil spills from tankers have fallen by more than 90% since the 1970s. Stacked bar chart showing annual counts of tanker oil spills from 1970 to 2024, with the vertical axis labeled 0 to 120 spills and the horizontal axis by year. Bars are stacked to show two categories: medium oil spills (7 to 700 tonnes) and large oil spills (greater than 700 tonnes). Only medium and large spills are included; smaller spills are excluded. Key annotations: a callout at 1974 notes 117 oil spills occurred that year, 27 of them large; a callout at 2024 notes 10 oil spills occurred that year, 5 of them large. Overall the chart shows a sharp peak in the early to mid-1970s, followed by a long-term decline in annual spill counts, with much lower and relatively stable numbers from the 2000s onward and a slight uptick toward 2024.

Oil spills from tankers have fallen by more than 90% since the 1970s—
In the 1970s, oil spills from tankers — container ships transporting oil — were common. Between 70 and 100 spills occurred per year. That’s one or two spills every week.

This new QJE paper concludes that the macroeconomic costs of climate change are far greater than earlier estimates suggested. It finds that a 1°C rise in global temperatures reduces world GDP by over 20%.

Whether this is real or roleplaying doesn’t change that agents have alignment drift.

Brazil White is very high and volatile in the 1620s–1650s (peaks above 30 groten), then reappears lower (roughly 9–13) in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries; raw Caribbean series cluster mostly around 4–9 groten when present, while powder/refined series sit above the raw lines and rise sharply in the 1750s–1760s. Shaded background bands mark major conflict periods (Dutch Brazil 1630–54; Nine Years’ War 1689–97; War of Spanish Succession 1702–13; War of Austrian Succession 1744–48; Seven Years’ War 1756–63), and line breaks indicate years with no surviving quotations.
(Chart: “Sugar Prices at Amsterdam, 1664–1763”): Line chart of annual average sugar prices in Amsterdam (y-axis: groten per pound, roughly 2–20; x-axis: 1664–1763) with separate series for Brazil White (highest line), São Tomé, Caribbean & Surinamese (aggregate), Barbados, Martinique, Saint-Domingue, and dashed refined/powder grades (Martinique Powder, Saint-Domingue Powder, East Indian Powder). Brazil White is very high in the mid-1660s (around 16–19 groten), then mostly around 10–13 when quoted (with long gaps), and rises again in the 1750s. Barbados and the Caribbean/Surinamese aggregate sit lower (generally about 5–9), with a clear dip in the early 1720s. Martinique and Saint-Domingue begin only in 1719 and cluster around 4–6 through the 1720s–1730s, then rise in the 1740s and especially the 1750s. Powder/refined series appear mainly after 1750 and run above the raw Martinique and Saint-Domingue lines, reaching the mid-teens by the early 1760s. Shaded background bands mark major wars (Franco-Dutch War 1672–78, Nine Years’ War 1689–97, War of Spanish Succession 1702–13, War of Austrian Succession 1744–48, Seven Years’ War 1756–63); vertical dashed markers label key moments (Rampjaar, Methuen, Law/SSB, Aix-la-Chapelle). Line breaks indicate years with no surviving quotations.
Looking at EM sugar prices across multiple periods is fascinating, even though my series is incomplete. The collapse after Barbados enters the picture makes every other change look like peanuts. I knew that (and the literature has known it for ages), but it is still wild to see it plotted.

Na UFRJ, nos anos 80, ele era ensinado como se estivesse no mesmo nível do que Keynes.
Será que foi via New School ou será os cursos já constava nos cursos da Cepal? Alguém sabe?
