Why do green parties struggle electorally despite widespread support for climate action? My new (first 😱) paper explores why green parties remain uniquely challenged in economic crisis & that the mechanism is not only about sociotropic concerns, but also voters’ pocketbooks 🧵

Maybe the US Congress could impeach the whole administration and ask Mario Draghi to form a caretaker government until 2028?

I have considered @yougov.co.uk a high-quality pollster, but after becoming a panelist myself, I am no longer so sure. The Finnish-language surveys have clearly been machine translated, with many hard-to-understand and some obviously wrong translations, and little regard to cultural differences.

We can’t stop Norway’s oil/gas exports from hitting $200B a year. Those surly trout munchers will make out like bandits. Sovereign wealth fund heading for $2.5 Trillion. If there is a merciful God, why would he let this happen??

Agree with this thread. Ultimately it is system change that matters, but human systems are made up of individuals, and so individual actions—especially in countries and among populations with high per capita emissions—do matter.

🌍 A defense of the personal carbon footprint 🌱
I often hear people, including in the climate community, dismiss the concept of a personal carbon footprint. I believe this is a mistake. Here are three reasons why👇🧵

Perhaps a bit surprisingly, the weekend's storm was one of the most impactful on record in the Baltics. At least two fatalities and in total ~500 000 people without electricity in the three Baltic countries.

We cannot seek to restore the old Atlantic order by pretending the last decade has not occurred. Thus let us take things as they are, and do what we can, collectively, to make such arrangements - or something like them - plausible and desirable to future generations.
