Out Now! 2°C plus #equity lead to trade-off between sovereignty & efficiency. Quantitatively, the trade-off is non-linear: differentiated carbon prices plus transfers avoid bad performance of dogmatic approaches (red dots). https://t.co/9ez5Y2BisZ #ParisAgreement #ClimateJustice

OUT NOW! Carbon budget overshoot requires clever institutional settings. We tested the separation of emissions and removals with differentiated regulatory regimes. https://t.co/PEQHGiQqV4

@SecRubio This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.

Economics 101: there are quantities and there are prices. Never equate quantities and prices. This is exactly what the Trump tariff formula does. How can it be that such bullshit is cooked up in the White House? There seems to be no expertise on the most basic logical operations.

Kurt Tucholsky 1932 zum Thema Zölle. This is a legendary poem by Kurt Tucholsky about trade wars in the 1930ies. We have had this in iur university course on Political Economy of Trade Policy.

Back in 1848 Switzerland decided for a constitution very similar to the US on federalism. However, they deliberately abstained from the institution of a president elected by the people. What a wise decision that was! No leader, no chaos!

Stefan Banach was born exactly 133 years ago. Here’s an interesting instance of the Banach fixed-point theorem

BREAKING: People are allegedly being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime. Keep sharing everywhere.

Have a nice weekend!

My four-year-old gets anxious whenever he has to take his nap in the daycare’s makeshift bomb shelter, which is almost daily. He also gets anxious whenever we wake him up in the middle of the night to take him to the bathroom because there are explosions outside our home. STFU.

Former President of Poland Lech Wałęsa wrote the following letter to Donald Trump: 1/n

I wonder when Donald Trump tasks NASA to write his horoscope.

Summer School in Utrecht! You are interested in Equity and Climate Impacts? You wonder how to investigate this with IAMs and want to get to the edge of research, then apply here! [It is very affordable.] https://t.co/LtYHM6OzYV

More on US pulling out of IPCC. Whatever Trump thinks of climate change or climate policy, pulling out of the most authoritative source on risks, impacts and pathways, will damage US science and society.

This is C-movie type trash.
