@KetanJ0 Sorry to rile you up. I am actually totally into industrial tech. So this was more by way of highlighting the kind stuff we are going to have to build to make this possible.
@KetanJ0 Great thread. I hope my quotation of the data from this article and my emphasis on the industrial effort necessary to make the renewable future possible is not taken to imply any endorsement of the particular take of the verso piece.

@JeroenDjoene Yeah … I got a bit stuck on that too. Blumenberg definitely didn’t!
One might also translate Abbau—as Derrida did —as deconstruction. But to do so would be tendentious. There is no triumphant calling out of the naked emperor in Blumenberg. No suggestion that layers of meaning concepts accrue over time are “inauthentic.” jhiblog.org/2020/09/18/han… https://t.co/ImilbfBKOM

@realLeftBols @Tagliapietra_S Hmm … how do I explain … when one reads an article and sources specific information from it, as I did, and have thoughts triggered by said article you credit the article, as I did, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ENDORSE THE ARTICLE OR ARE RECOMMENDING ITS VIEWS TO OTHERS!
@Tagliapietra_S My point, as I say, is that it is a GIANT industrial project involving lots of steel and copper with some pretty heavy duty implications for affected communities around the world. Nothing more. Nothing less. I totally agree on necessity of pushing forward.
@DrewPavlou I agree that from the evidence we have, genocide does seem the appropriate description for the policy the regime is pursuing in Xinjiang. What purpose would be served by a charge at The Hague is a different matter.

@mickfisk @CliveCHamilton @MareikeOhlberg Sure. I had a whole long thread yesterday on how one might read this. But the point remains, if CCP is interested in stabilizing parameters of its rule, it is interested in stabilizing climate.

@NH4HumanRights @Columbia I dont understand you folks. Is climate some kind of “liberal” crowdpleaser? Why do you imagine a rational authoritarian wanting to govern a country of 1.4 bn long-term would not have an interest in stabilizing climate? Does that have implications for the rest of us? Yes it does!
@CliveCHamilton @MareikeOhlberg And if you object to the headline 1. That was the editors doing and I got it change to interrogative and 2. For me it reads like the question “Did Stalin save the world in WWII?” If reads differently to you, we have a different range of historical associations.
@CliveCHamilton @MareikeOhlberg I dont understand you folks. Do you think climate is some kind of “liberal” crowdpleaser? Why do you imagine a rational authoritarian wanting to govern a country of 1.4 bn long-term would not have an interest in stabilizing climate and binding in others to do so too?
"One of Kiran Patel’s main arguments is that to understand why the effects of European integration are so far-reaching today, we must look back to the 1970s and 1980s.” Sounds right. blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofboo… https://t.co/nltzHOoZd9
For Blumenberg "“concepts of reality” are conditioning structures of what, in an epoch, can appear as real; the contingency of reality as fundamental structure of human world-relation historicizes the real.” Great interview with @hannesbajohr Fuchs & Kroll jhiblog.org/2020/09/18/han… https://t.co/8hJ9IZ7FPX
