Detta i Science är oerhört. Myten – att skogsbruk trumfar bevarande av naturskogar för klimatet – tillintetgjord. Naturskogar lagrar över 70% mer kol än produktionsskogar. Skogsbruk har orsakat kolförlust större än Sveriges fossila utsläpp sen 1834. Läs @sverker.bsky.social www.dn.se/sverige/skog...

We all want to move on with our lives, yet the violence continues. The killing continues. The occupation continues. The colonisation continues. More than 9,000 Palestinian hostages are still in Israeli detention. /1

This was a very good discussion of what is wrong with ecomodernism (spoiler: you can have all the tech you want, it will not magically produce painless redistribution because the effects of property and prices will not automatically disappear in the future)! www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

I wrote an essay for @mihjournal.bsky.social on two very different books on planetary politics, each enlightening in their own way. Both contribute substantially to the discussion within the planetary turn. The piece can be found here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
