Excellent piece in @the-breakdown.bsky.social by @laramerling.bsky.social on reframing the issue of the climate finance gap. Lots I agree with but I still wonder how we can move beyond the status quo in time to avoid climate breakdown www.break-down.org/post/real-co...

Framing climate policy as a finance issue obscures the real stakes. We need to refocus debates on mobilizing real resources, challenging economic orthodoxies, and building a more just financial system. My latest for @the-breakdown.bsky.social www.break-down.org/post/real-co...

"Economics treats a lack of public finance as a natural constraint, obscuring how money is actually created. In reality, the only true constraints lie in the availability of real resources... to meet our needs." - @laramerling.bsky.social, now free to read online www.break-down.org/post/real-co...

This journal is one of the best things to happen to scholarship on the politics of climate change and the environment. Big recommendation, everything they publish is worth a read!

"...for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withhold—labor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer support—and to follow through if demands aren’t met." Glad to have gotten the opportunity to push this line in Time time.com/collections/...
