The British "wealth exodus" is a big fat myth. Stories of the wealthy fleeing from potential wealth taxes have been pushed by consultancies who sells "golden passports" and residence visas to their wealthy clients. They have a direct stake in pushing this narrative. 1/3

While it is true that formal emissions accounting rules attribute the emissions created from the burning of fossil fuels to the places where these are burned, anyone who tries use this fact to entirely absolve Australia of any responsibility is either critically incompetent or critically dishonest. Most likely both.
Like the incompetent/dishonest example, more than one thing can be true at once. Australia shares responsibility for these emissions because without the endorsement of Australian governments these fossil fuels would never have been burned.
And if anyone tries to tell you that if we didnโt sell them, someone else would: kindly ask them to point to which country is politely sitting on its hands with a fossil fuel reserves capable of meeting 50% of the worldโs trade in metallurgical coal, one-fifth of the worldโs trade in thermal coal and one-fifth of the worldโs liquefied gas. If Australia didnโt supply these fuels, there is no country on the planet that could replace it.
This piece by @timinclimate.bsky.social is a complete banger. I have really never ever read such a comprehensive analysis of Australia's fossil export emissions like this, it is something else.

Reclaiming a Policy Role for Economists
Acknowledging missteps, listening well, defending data, and avoiding jargon will help the profession engage
Economists influence policy makers, but not all are equally influential: "Economists shape policy on trade, taxation, regulation &economic stability...mainstream economic expertise influences governments around the world..dominate central banks &multilateral institutions"

The thing is, if we don't continually destabilise the Middle East and make the world a less safe place, we won't need to make as many weapons, and that would be bad for the economy.

Systems working against each other - Edinburgh Futures Institute
Writer-at-large Katherine Trebeck reflects on how our economic systems often clash with the compassionate values people already hold.
Prevailing economic systems undermine the best of our values in "yet another instance of individualisation; when it is economic systems that are kicking against the best of peopleโs values and traits. It is an example of putting the onus on individuals"

Portugal's Political Earthquake: Centrist Grip Crumbles, Right Ascends
A seismic shift in Portugal's 2025 elections reflects a broader Western trend: the erosion of centrist dominance and the rise of populist forces.
"Across numerous governments today, post-Cold War neoliberal model, once promising prosperity & material well-being, but delivering only minimal social rights, is failing to meet demands...The social contract lies profoundly broken..this is a structural problem"
