Thanks to you & GeoJ. The climate crisis & its link to preferred energy sources are transforming who is prospering, who has power, who has what interests on the global stage. Political Science has so much to offer but only a few people and venue link GJ deliver. In your debt!

Yes because then we ask questions about what is good and bad innovation, which values and social and ecological issues are embedded in the process.

🚀=😊? From “more innovation“ to “better innovation“—is there a paradigm shift happening? Thoughts? Happy to see my latest publication out (a few days ago by now), which is part intellectual programmatic, part institutional confession of sorts

"We analyzed 5 recent large-scale power failures in the US, including the rolling blackouts caused by Winter Storm Uri in 2021. We found that gas plants accounted for most of the failed capacity in all 5 events." The "reliability" of fossil gas is a myth. https://t.co/nmzXO0ze1F

The United States is overly reliant on gas plants—and extreme weather is causing them to fail at alarming rates.

Activists rightly advocate to cut fossil-fuel subsidies. We show this overstates climate effectiveness & political feasibility. Subsidies account for ~1% of the issue. The far greater problem of unpriced externalities warrants equal zeal for carbon pricing https://t.co/GTUrNR5Bro

This is the 'Volkswagen 2015' moment for the #COP28 Presidency.   Caught red handed, the COP Presidency has no other option but to now unequivocally step up the transparency, responsibility and accountability with which they lead the process. [1/2] https://t.co/mOpmYDfTaL

Leaked documents show how the COP28 host planned to use its role to strike fossil fuel business deals.

We often focus on global surface temperatures as a key metric for climate change. But as we note in the Climate Trends chapter of the new US 5th National Climate Assessment, we see incontrovertible evidence for climate change across the oceans, land, cryosphere, and atmosphere:
