@timjackson.org.uk hi Tim I enjoyed your Clore fellowship speech very much. So much so that I’m now writing my final provocation piece for my fellowship on post growth & the arts. Would you have time for a quick conversation? Thanks
Ie who are proponents of green growth who make the case for decoupling?
@jasonhickel.bsky.social Jason I am just reading your BRILLIANT book - and underlining everything. Do you know of any writers/thinkers who have attempted a defence of growth in the context of climate emergency, explicitly - ie have attempted to reconcile the two? Curious about the counter argument.
China is on track to become the world’s first “electrostate”—with clean electricity driving growth and coal’s decline looking inevitable.

This was such a weird article and made me miss the Observer a lot!
The US rep to the IEA said that "pursuing offshore wind power would make countries reliant on China." It's instructive to explore this sort of claim, in particular for what it reveals about those claiming it. Two points:🧵

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A helpful stat from the UN is that action post Paris Agreement has brought projected warming down from 3.7-4.8c by 2100 to current levels (2.2-3.4c). We’ve come a long way; nowhere near far enough; we are in the middle of the story and the outcome is yet to be written.
Words to live by.

I’m gonna say something that is going to sound crazy, but when has that ever stopped me from saying something publicly: there is a way in which the U.S. chucking its position in the world could actually fast-track energy transition. A few things that have me thinking this way 🧵
