It's not the rule of law here in the US; it's the rule of Don. Newsom's speech was cancelled at the World Economic Forum. But this German broadcasting company interviewed him to get his message out.

Costly own goal: US import #tariffs primarily impact the domestic economy, with 96% of the costs being borne by importers & consumers in 🇺🇸 rather than foreign exporters, according to new research by @julianhi.nz, @aaron-lohmann.bsky.social, @hendrikmahlkow.com & Anna Vorwig👇

Contrary to US government rhetoric, the cost of US import tariffs are not borne by foreign exporters. Instead, they hit the American economy itself. Importers and consumers in the US bear 96 percent o...

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason.

If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half.

📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social
A horizontal bar chart titled "Percentage of Global fossil fuel emissions (since 1751) occurring in my lifetime." The chart shows how much of the total historical global fossil fuel emissions have occurred within the lifetime of individuals of different ages, from 5 to 100 years old. The vertical axis on the left lists ages in increments of 5 years, from age 5 at the top to age 100 at the bottom. The horizontal axis represents the percentage of fossil fuel emissions, marked in 10% increments from 10% to 90%. The black bars represent the proportion of fossil fuel emissions that have occurred during each age group's lifetime. The bars increase in length as the age increases, meaning older individuals have lived through a larger percentage of the cumulative emissions since 1751. Three specific age groups are highlighted with red bars and white text annotations: Age 30: "if you are 30 it is more than 50%" Age 50: "if you are 50 it is about 75%" Age 85: "if you are 85 it is about 90%" The source of the data is cited at the bottom: "CDIAC and globalcarbonproject.org." The graphic is credited to "@neilrkaye."

#UNOC3 in Nice aims to foster development in #SDG14. In doing so, it needs not only good data but also #ScienceForTheOcean to aggregate, analyze and derive policy recommendations. Here, we discuss metrics cepr.org/voxeu/column..., @ignaciosg.bsky.social @kiel.institute‬ @voxeu.org
Balancing ocean health and economic growth: The role of sustainability metrics in the EU
The EU’s Blue Growth Strategy emphasises leadership in blue energy and progress in sectors such as aquaculture and blue biotechnology. However, challenges remain in accounting for marine ecosystem contributions and assessing the degree of inclusive blue growth. This column distinguishes between weak sustainability, which allows for trade-offs between dimensions of blue growth, and strong sustainability, which emphasises balance across dimensions. Obstacles to blue growth include insufficient economic growth in blue economy sectors and environmental problems like eutrophication. Future efforts should target such specific problems while supporting promising blue economy innovations.
