We are on the verge of a new Cold War, defined not by an ideological contest over the proper relationship between politics and the economy, but over the metabolic basis of modernity. Call it the Green Entente vs. the Axis of Petrostates. My latest: foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/01/e...

Decarbonization isn’t just about technology and markets—it’s a geopolitical revolution.

"The better way to understand Anchorage is not as the start of something new, but as the culmination of a longer process. As the U.S. dismantles its foreign-policy tools, as this administration fires the people who know how to use them, our ability to act with any agility will diminish"

Water connects us all through atmospheric moisture that travels across continents. Deforestation in the Amazon reduces rainfall as far as the Congo Basin. We need a new lens that treats the hydrological cycle as a global common good requiring collective action. 1/2

US is becoming poorer & weaker as it dismantles the very system it once built. Now, marooned on a fossil-drenched continent, the question is whether it will watch in sullen silence as others climb toward the solar uplands, or have the power to crush the spring www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/apr...

7 years ago I wrote that, "the most lasting long-term consequence of the Trump Administration," could be "the disruption of the belief in neutral gov't statistics that form the epistemological foundation of shared social, economic & political reality." www.the-american-interest.com/2018/04/17/d...

Since the 19th century, government statistics have been central to our sense of shared social reality. Is that going away?

"It is time to develop a new geocentric model — not in the astronomical sense, but philosophically: a fundamental awareness that places the Earth system at the centre of our thinking and actions, and that considers the raison de Terre as the keystone of global governance." aeon.co/essays/we-ne...

“the energy transition is likely to become the locus of a new eco-ideological Cold War that will reshape global alignments and provoke existential resistance from the fossil-fueled ancien régime.”
