Het volk heeft gesproken!

Burgerberaad klimaat presenteerde vandaag haar mooie uitkomsten. Maar zitten de media en politiek wel te wachten op de weloverwogen voorstellen van burgers?

Vooralsnog veel stilte, dus laten we het signaal wat versterken! 🤝📢

A graph of US monthly solar generation

Official data is in this week, and US solar continues to grow rapidly, with generation up 30% compared to last year!

Really glad to see this out! @apsmolenska.bsky.social and I give our account for @boell.de of why the future of the dollar is also crucial for climate policy

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.

Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.

Or both.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

A tech critic’s guide to holiday gift-giving Maybe your grandma doesn’t need that Alexa smart speaker

Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season.

When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

Germany’s first grid-balancing solar project might be a ‘paradigm shift’ for energy A modestly sized solar PV project in central Germany might have just ushered in a new era of renewables’ relationship with the grid.

3 massive changes you'll see as the climate careens toward tipping points Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In some cases, those changes have already begun.

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today:

"When the planet heats up beyond 1.5 degrees, the impacts don't get just slightly worse. Scientists warn that massive, self-reinforcing changes could be set off, having devastating impacts around the world."

Why do global environmental institutions multiply and persist even when they seem unable to address biodiversity loss and environmental governance failures effectively?

The Wartburg Syndrome How the Old Continent Risks Becoming the New East Germany

Forget derisking. 2025 is about the the quiet MAGA-fication of the European mainstream, one green regulation rollback and green subsidy cut at a time. geoeconomic.substack.com/p/the-wartbu...

Der US-Dollar verliert an Dominanz. Schlägt die Stunde des Euro?

Unser Report zeigt: Eine stärkere Euro-Internationalisierung bringt nur kleine Nettoeffekte für's BIP. Globarer Euro ist nicht automatisch ein Vorteil.

Zum Report von Nils Gerresheim, @maxkrahe.bsky.social, @jvtk.bsky.social ⬇️

The EU Parliament now has a right-wing majority President von der Leyen's centre-right EPP yesterday broke the centrist coalition, joining with the far right in order to pass the climate deregulation demanded by Trump.

Yesterday will mark a major turning point – the collapse of the European Parliament's decades-old centrist governing majority.

It's the end of an era, and the beginning of another.

Als je het vaak genoeg herhaalt, gaan mensen het geloven.

Thanks, I dont think I knew the book but will definitely take a look. Also now curious why you think Basel IIII didn't solve this.

The figure illustrates how inflation expectations shifted after the 2022 inflation surge, together with their 90-95% confidence intervals. In both inflation targeting and non-inflation-targeting countries, expectations for the year ahead increased by roughly one percentage point, while longer-term expectations remained stable, indicating that credibility held up across regimes. See Imam and Poghosyan (2025) for details of the empirical analysis. The 2022 global inflation surge tested inflation-targeting frameworks under severe supply shocks. This column shows that, despite earlier and sharper tightening, inflation targeting central banks did not achieve systematically better outcomes than their non-targeting peers. Instead, credibility and timely action mattered more than institutional labels. As supply shocks driven by geopolitics, climate change, and the energy transition become more frequent, inflation targeting frameworks will need to adapt and evolve to remain effective in this new environment.

Patrick Imam and Tigran Poghosyan show that despite earlier and sharper tightening, inflation targeting central banks did not achieve systematically better outcomes than their non-targeting peers during the 2022 global inflation surge.

Yeah just not talking about this isn't sustainable either

‘We are hurtling towards climate chaos’, is de eerste zin.

Dit rapport zou aanleiding moeten zijn voor crisisberaad in ieder land, dit weekend, en als dat niet gebeurt, dan zou de bevolking hun leiders daartoe moeten dwingen door stakingen, demonstraties, oproer.
