this is how i feel about smartphones: no one had them for actually forever until ~10-15 years ago. we drove new places, communicated (or didn't), made appointments, remembered things, took photos, listened to music (or didn't). they are now the norm--but at what environmental and social cost?

that is funny- as is the fact that none of them actually accurately tell you why there's no such page. almost like economics can't explain it all! (maybe the closest is "classical".)

"Perhaps the most striking findings is that the British public vastly overestimates the cost getting to net zero by almost 14,000%, fueling scepticism & a reluctance to pay. On average, they estimate it will need 28% of GDP by 2050, compared to @thecccuk.bsky.social forecast of just 0.2%"
Are the advocates for net zero losing the fight?

yes! considering wearing academic robes throughout or at least on the first day, to hype up the analog space in a campy sort of way. writing on a scroll with a quill pen, that sort of thing.

As someone who never switched to a smartphone, I'm counting on the same news being printed about flip phones soon...
