Total US CO2 emissions rose by only 1.9% btw 1990 and 2017 but there was a huge redistribution between states. The rustbelt shrank v. Large increases in Fl, Az, Tx & fracking states. @lesliehook ft.com/content/3845d3… https://t.co/UK8Iit8J9s

If we believe these numbers, there are $1.7trn in congressionally approved funds and $4.8trn in Fed credit in stimulus that remain to be spent. Could the Biden administration repurpose and deliver this? Will GOP block? @ANZResearch @BryanSeyedCFRB @SoberLook https://t.co/jpkYTReWAK

Prompted by RCEP @faznet has a great graphic on membership of Asia v. Pacific (include Americas) trade deals. Highlights fact that India is excluded from both RCEP and CPTPP. faz.net/aktuell/wirtsc… https://t.co/t2eLNOK0VK
Germany’s @faz.net sees RCEP as “wake-up call” for Brussels & Washington! China and Japan consolidating their influence and their bilateral relations. All the usual provisos about a thin treaty. But Germany has 420bn euro in exports at stake 20% of total. faz.net/aktuell/wirtsc… https://t.co/qIENbhXury
In his @ForeignAffairs article, Biden asserts “US must lead the world” on climate change. America will “convene summit of world’s major CO2 emitters” at which Biden promises to “lock in enforceable commitments that will reduce emissions”.

All the way back in the embattled autumn of 2015 Beijing was pushing the RCEP trade deal to compete with TPP. Trump pulled out of TPP Jan 2017.
