Just finished “In Ascension” and I don’t get the hype or the very positive reviews. It reads well but it is far from being “mesmerising”, “monumental” or “magnificent”.

New short piece in The Conversation. With my colleague A. Delis we argue that we are definitely leaving the shore of free trade and entering an era of unfettered mercantilism. 👇 With Trump back in the White House, the age of free trade could be coming to an end theconversation.com/with-trump-b...

Today marks 17yrs since my brave & beautiful mum died, her final weeks were distressing & she didn’t get to meet George born 4 weeks later or see me enter politics. As I vote in favour of assisted dying on Friday I will be thinking of her & how we could have given her more dignity & help others

To Quit Their Jobs, Sugar Workers Risk Kidnapping, Assault and Murder: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/w...

Abused Workers in India’s Sugar Industry Face Worse Fates if They Quit
Why would anyone stay in a job where abuse is rampant and women are coerced into hysterectomies? Because the cost of escaping India’s cane fields is often even higher.

Many modeling studies depend on direct air capture (DAC) in their 1.5°C stabilization scenarios, but they rely on overly optimistic assumptions regarding the cost and scaling of DAC systems. This leads to highly misleading results that impact the ability to reach climate stabilization goals.

Extraordinary that the main BBC feeds aren't on here. Many of their journalists are. The institution could show a bit of leadership [and how costly would it be for their digital departments? not very] rather than waiting until the last possible moment.

When horrible people say horrible things with the obvious purpose of horrifying people, you don't have to screenshot it and spread it. You aren't informing anyone. We already know these people are awful. You're just farming clicks. We've been doing this for well over a decade now. Wise up.
