American friends, remember when you thought that your capitalists coming to China would teach us “freedom?” And instead they all learned how to be super comfortable with authoritarians? Good times!
President Trump and Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, announced Wednesday that Apple would invest an additional $100 billion in the U.S., after Cook presented Trump with a 24-karat gold gift and lavished him with praise. Read more: nyti.ms/3J2VVue

What if we measured progress not just by income or life expectancy - but by how well we live with the rest of nature?
A major new paper proposes the 'Nature Relationship Index (NRI)' - a bold rethink of development metrics.

One of the hazards of medieval banking was that borrowers had a habit of running into halberds and other sharp objects at the most inopportune times. Such an event was the battle of Nancy, January 5, 1477 when the Medici Bank lost another one of its customers, Charles "le Temeraire" duke of Burgundy

Watch the planet breathe as it shifts through the seasons.
Atmospheric CO2 oscillates annually due to the skew distribution of land (the breathing), but it is rising over time due to CO2 emissions with El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) adding variability.
