@sabres_edge @DuncanWeldon Thank you Duncan for making this quite a weird day!

“For a very, very long time, we talked about China as a future problem. Now, China is clearly a nuclear problem” When you hear this kind of talk, and one does, a reality check is helpful: China has c. 350 warheads, many on low alert. US? …. 5550! ft.com/content/c97150… https://t.co/kJEAplGmPp

Thanks! @FT Could pioneer a new kind of coverage: weather/climate/economy/society in real time. Counterpart to what @gilliantett & Climate Capital are doing so well. It's horrifying that these boundaries are breaking down, these temporalities are merging, but it has to be faced. twitter.com/khalafroula/st…

@khalafroula Thanks @FT Could pioneer a new kind of coverage: weather/climate/economy/society in real time. Counterpart to what @gilliantett and Climate Capital are doing so well. It's horrifying that these boundaries are breaking down, these temporalities are merging, but it has to be faced.

Global stock of negative-yielding debt is heading back towards historic peak. Bond sellers have been burned. CB are still buying heavily. Will there be more action in the fall? ft.com/content/43280f… https://t.co/u0Hsyn5i6z

Is Europe going to come back from the summer, seriously worried about its growth trajectory? Or not? These graphs from latest @ChrisGiles_ are pretty striking! ft.com/content/9b5e87… https://t.co/Mgv0V4NvWf

Accelerating the EV transition in the US is a matter of 2 steps forward (new EO on 50% EV by 2030) and one 1 back (only $7.5bn for chargers in infrastructure bill). ft.com/content/7fbc2d… https://t.co/EmWx5iVnHX

Spiralling disruption: from @CarbonBubble , the folks who back in 2011 first brought us the notion of stranded assets, comes a new report on the looming collapse of the fossil paradigm. Essential reading for the weekend. Check it out here. carbontracker.org https://t.co/QtqcTtJ8bc

@gilliantett FANTASTIC. Thanks @gilliantett like The @FT monitoring of Covid mortality etc.

@arifekose Thanks you so much!

@_John_Handel @wxrisk Seriously. It;s the sting in the tail of Keynes’s “we can afford anything we can actually do”.

@spielmann_malte @WJ_Armstrong Thank you!

@drlisadcook @FT @jburnmurdoch @CamillaHodgson @khalafroula @alexandraheal Glad you agree. I just cant keep track.

"Investors who poured billions of dollars into Chinese tutoring start-ups are exploring how to claw back their capital after Beijing intervention destroyed the bulk of the companies’ value.” But does regime action trigger their contract clauses? ft.com/content/45c0c4… https://t.co/SMJdKIaIWd

It is no coincidence that Blair & Brown have been so vocal on global vaccination initiatives. It really is a test of their early 2000s commitment to top-down, world-improving globalization. Blair: ft.com/content/46ee68… Brown: ft.com/content/1a4ba3… https://t.co/o3JNv3xIga

Agree with him or not, Tarak Barkawi is definitely one of the most interesting voices in the IR/history/theory space. Check out this interview here: theory-talks.org/2021/07/theory… https://t.co/crUt93EdUs

"Turkey is only G20 nation to refuse to ratify the Paris agreement on climate change.” Gotta admit, I didn’t know that. Anything good to read in English/ger/fr on Erdogan and climate politics? Ive been worrying about a Russo-Turkic carbon axis. ft.com/content/c8f6cd… https://t.co/z4QJdJlwGz

Mexican government is suing US gunmakers in US courts, accusing them of “actively facilitating” weapons trafficking that has armed drug cartels and fuelled bloodshed south of the border with 2.5 m illegal guns since 2011. ft.com/content/7361fd… https://t.co/1A5bU9JrKl

“Significant climate events in June”. Can we have this as a regular monthly feature please! @FT @jburnmurdoch @CamillaHodgson @khalafroula @alexandraheal THIS IS THE NEWS! ft.com/content/fe4e65… https://t.co/u5eQOG3UAD

After Chartbook #29 & #30 on Afghanistan, I want an interconnected history of state-stabilization/state-building in Afghanistan/Iraq, wider global governance and China’s BRI, as complex continuity. Anyone? Maybe just “AfPak”? Sign up for substack here: adamtooze.substack.com https://t.co/RJCdU1K3XX

The NSO spyware case is blowing up in India. But Pegasus is clearly a far more widespread problem. Will this get politicized on a broader scale? After NSA/Snowden, is surveillance/spying becoming the archetypal 21st c scandal? ft.com/content/9d6c9e… https://t.co/icM8ugiQzU

The sooner we can get EV on the "cool wall”, the better. This might help! twitter.com/BrutalHouse/st…

The strategic logic is obvious and Nordstream the provocation, but this is also more carbon lock-in, Europe really does not need! twitter.com/tochytskyi/sta…

With unemp/poverty rising, Inflation in Brazil exceeded 8 % in the 12 months to June, more than double the official target of 3.75%t for 2021 -> Brazilian central bank hikes rates most since 2003. Will Brazil be prime case of long-COVID-stagflation? ft.com/content/60ee95… https://t.co/NibjpS8VNo

@fluids_guru @AriellaBudick @MuseumModernArt NO sarcasm. I’m a fan. Have been since I was a little kid. Career ambition #1 engine/chassis designer. I’m from the transitional era before aero was completely dominant. You have to come to terms with these things about yourself 😉

"Demand is intensifying for the work of World Weather Attribution initiative @wxrisk a team founded in 2014 which comprises 7 core volunteer researchers, all also have day jobs, and which has been unfunded for years.” Somebody OUGHT TO PAY FOR IT!!!!! ft.com/content/fe4e65… https://t.co/QeRTGRslmq

@fluids_guru @AriellaBudick @MuseumModernArt I was struck, too, by its beauty.

“The time for Warsaw”: Andreas Malm’s How to Blow up a Pipeline veers into some very deep water! I couldn’t help thinking of the way Grossman linked death and freedom, see Chartbook #21: adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-21 https://t.co/PnuYn8dokm

Vaccine diplomacy: EU did compilation of data on vaccine shipments for “systemic competitors” (not India): US: donated 60 m doses, exports c. 0 m EU: donated 7.9m, exp 503 m China: donated 24.2 m, exported 397m Russia: exp 30 m politico.eu/article/europe… politico.eu/article/europe… https://t.co/LkA3Id7HI4

"Biden will catapult his climate change agenda on Thursday by signing an executive order calling for half of all new vehicles sold in the US to be electric by 2030”. Backed by Ford, GM, Fiat Chrysler and France’s PSA. ft.com/content/7fbc2d… https://t.co/rFdzJ7WLcx
