Tomorrow is shaping up to be America’s Brexit - only worse. A unilateral raising of tariff barriers with the rest of the world. Meanwhile with its dire debt dynamics, oligarchic politics, erratic decision-making, America is starting to resemble a troubled emerging market. Brace for impact

Whales are often touted for their large potential for carbon storage. But looking at the data, I think their role is extremely small (although partly uncertain). Bring back the whales! Just not as a climate solution. My latest Substack: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/whale-carb...

Government spending when directed towards investments (vs. social transfers) is remarkably good at generating long-term GDP growth, especially when the private sector responds to the additional demand with its own investments If Europe actually spends, GDP growth forecasts for 2025-2030 are too low
