@DaSchwantz @gmbutts Would seem entirely reasonable.

@thorstenbenner @ForeignPolicy @bueti Im tempted to double down on “wrong footing” precisely because 9/22 feels like a “swerve". EU center of gravity was going one

@thorstenbenner @ForeignPolicy @bueti Perhaps my point is best made like this. Compare situation August 2020: EU is waiting for big China move on climate &

@thorstenbenner @ForeignPolicy Ok but 1. Climate-denying US may pressure from its side and make linkages, creating a dilemma for EU. 2. Even if we just

@OliHSchmidt I like your Euro-optimism but have you read the piece rather than headline/tweet? Its actually in the interrogative whilst trying to gauge the significance

@Noahpinion Lets just say we’ve made some tweaks! 😉

@thorstenbenner That is short-hand for the idea I sketch in a few more sentences in the @ForeignPolicy piece: it creates tension btw climate policy field,

@t0nyyates That would be exactly how I would internalize this interpretative problem within an economics frame.

@GoldenBav Further grist to the mill. Excellent. Indeed, from any medium to long-term perspective decarbonization is after all best thought of not as a “cost”

@Zulutron @MichaelArouet Yes. This is the (horrible) stuff that global climate politics is made of.

@Noahpinion Yeah. Thats where I though I was with @ForeignPolicy But then things sometimes go really quickly. Price you pay for congenial and excellent editing,

@Noahpinion Hi @Noahpinion Do your privileges at Bloomberg extend to picking your own headlines? Mine dont at @ForeignPolicy So then I have to do a

Hmm … still struggling to see where we disagree. I think Xi’s announcement puts EU in a rather difficult spot. I would see climate neutrality

My guess, equally unfounded in deep inside knowledge, would be that climate problem is "good fit" for CCP leadership worldview: a. China acts on science

Simple intentionalist readings of CCP policy easily end up impaled on cynical/power political/realism v. idealism/ideology fork, which I find profoundly unilluminating. I'm scarred by my

I didn't venture this "intentionalist" power political reading of Xi's climate move even more loudly in the @ForeignPolicy piece because folks like @sinocism @jordanschnyc @KaiserKuo

… Xi's bold climate policy announcement as part of a piece with moves on Hong Kong. It is an expression of confident power. A consolidation

4. leveraging Germany, in particular. 5. global green energy industrial leadership. 6. internally Xi is defining a new economic policy agenda. For all of these

I dont think we know enough about what is going on inside China's leadership. I certainly dont. But … as I hinted in @ForeignPolicy piece,

Xi's announcement that China is aiming for max CO2 < 2030 and neutrality by 2060 may turn out to be a world historic turning point.

@sortofhere @ForeignPolicy Hi. I dont see these as incompatible. Climate announcement is not about being “nice, because Green". More plausible to see it as a

As we digest the implications of Xi’s commitment to make China carbon neutral by 2060 can we redo @jasonhickel calculations on responsibility for climate breakdown?

@MuellerTadzio @SchickGerhard @doublingtime Will be fun. I count on you @SchickGerhard

@NatBullard @ForeignPolicy @EIAgov And that small matter of land use … Cited mainly on account of population to indicate that hidden in that “ROW” box

@IngmarVon @APHClarkson Yeah … Point of piece is that Xi can make more credible commitment than US and is plausible partner for EU, which, you

With Xi declaration of 22 Sep 2020 China has staked its historic claim to CO2 real estate. Max < 2030. Neutral by 2060. So where
