You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

In late May 2026, several countries in Western Europe faced above-average temperatures. During the same period, large areas of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea also recorded above-average ...

Wolfers: For nine out of the last 10 presidencies, if you’d said, “How much should we blame the president for what’s going on with the economy right now?” I would have said that the president is just one factor among many. That’s what I would have said nine out of 10 times. This is the 10th time.

This discussion puts its finger squarely on one of the two thorniest issues of geoengineering - namely that, to succeed, it would require multidecadal stable and rational governance of the countries and entities involved. How's that going, these days?

Obama: Shared values that make democracy possible. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections.

Can't think of another country in the world that would have a cage match in the grounds of one of its most significant buildings, partially obscuring it from view. Even the Romans built separate arenas for their 'bread and circuses'.

America told Europe to spend more on defence for 30 years. Europe finally listened. Then built its own industry, cancelled the contracts, and stopped returning Washington's calls. Rheinmetall up 323%. Saab up 284%. €38 billion gone from American order books in a single year.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses. Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high. Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025. “Golden Age” for whom?
