It is clear that the Paris "limit" of 1.5C will be breached, ten years earlier than scientists feared back in 2015. Global emissions are only just levelling out.
And we (humans) are fighting over ... Greenland.
🤦
I rest my case.

Not a medical doctor, but it seems inconceivable that Trump will see out his term.
All eyes on Vance.

Well, markets did largely shrug it off. Seemingly the constant torrent of shocking news has become the new normal.
Still, the weaker dollar and record gold and silver prices are indicators of ill-ease. An uptick in inflation or fiscal stress could trigger a reappraisal.

Hard to imagine markets simply shrugging off such a blatant attack on central bank independence.

Trump. Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.
Regrets about referring to Trump as a Mad King I have none.

Leopold II (not I).
The weak and exculpatory response by Europe to the breach of international law in Venezuela looks ever more wrong-headed.Not the dictator 's arrest, but rather the "running the country" from Washington is central. This is personalised extractive colonialism reminiscent of Leopold I.
Here are the facts, based on the recently updated #OpenEnergyTracker:
▶️ Purely battery-electric vehicles accounted for 22.2% of all new passenger cars registered in December.
4 in 5 new sales still have a petrol/diesel engine.
(1 in 8 of these is a plug-in hybrid, on which views differ).
