Det tar ju lite emot att lyfta sitt eget arbete. Men har under de senaste 18 månaderna jobbat med två böcker som råkar komma ut snart, med rätt tätt mellanrum. De är på flera vis sammanlänkade: de rör båda klimat- och miljökrisen. Och behovet av ödmjuk självkritik och att helt tänka om. 1/3

Yes indeed! And also: there are feedback loops between the destabilization and extremism and the impacts of climate. Fight either to fight both or even better fight them together, with just climate solutions that embody interconnection and interdependence.

What BP et al are doing arguably represents the most dismal ever example of Marx's "coercive law of competition" in action. I.e. when they say "we have to keep drilling 'cos our competitors are," they are telling a kind of (mealy-mouthed) truth: no more drilling = lower profits = get taken over.

For all the hoopla about (cheap) renewables growth, 2024 saw yet another annual increase in global power generation from fossil fuels (coal and gas both up) and associated CO2 emissions. Europe the only major region where emissions from power generation fell. Just awful.

Along with China's records in addition to renewables capacity the coal plants are adding up. So far there is no energy transition only addition, as the world's by far biggest GHG emitter is still growing. What could stop China before multiple tipping points being breached?
