This interview is very much worth reading, as my colleague Professor Robert Lawrence explains -- in plain language -- the reality behind current debates about U.S. tariff policies. I wish Donald Trump could read (and understand) this. www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-rese...

Skrivit debattartikel i SvD: Regeringens subventionerade lån och prisgarantier till kärnkraft var en dålig idé för ett halvår sen. Nu har det blivit en än sämre idé pga det nya ekonomisk- och geopolitiska läget. -> www.svd.se/a/KM9GO4/nat...

”Gå inte vidare med jättelånen till kärnkraft”
DEBATT. Regeringen går vidare med kärnkraftsutredningens bristfälliga förslag, trots att de senaste månadernas utveckling gör förslaget än mer olämpligt. Det skriver nationalekonom Daniel Spiro.

Norway regrets Hungary’s decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court. The ICC plays a key role in ensuring accountability for international crimes, and Norway will continue to support and defend the Court.

Preliminary data suggests that the global average increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration in 2024 will be a record. Not just a little record, but 25% higher than the previous record. (This is the global average, as opposed to Moana Loa) gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/... 1/

Avgift skulle kutte utslepp – auka i staden
CO2-avgift på drivstoffet skulle kutte utslepp frå fiskeflåten. Men no går båtane lange omvegar for å sleppe avgifta.
