Eric Maugendre about carbon"Why are the targets for reducing emissions not being met or now even agreed? The answer is money. Despite the harm, the world’s governments provided $956bn in direct fossil fuel subsidies in 2023."

Hello Prof @ChrisMayLA6 . Thank you for your insight.
Indeed the finance sector creates more money than sovereign countries.
I suggest that it is important that we monitor both:
* finance because crashes and CO2;
* countries because politics.

What am I investing in today? That question must be preceded by another one. | Richard Golian
I often get asked what I’m doing with my finances this year. My answer is simple: almost nothing. Back in December and January, as I’ve written on this blog before, I gradually increased the cash portion of my portfolio. And frankly, I don’t really care whether the market moves up or down in the short term.

"[...] Wealthy nations rely on a large net appropriation of labour and resources from the rest of the world through unequal exchange in international trade and global commodity chains. Here we assess this empirically by measuring flows of embodied labour in the world economy from 1995–2021, accounting for skill levels, sectors and wages. We find that, in 2021, the economies of the global North net-appropriated 826 billion hours of embodied labour from the global South, across all skill levels and sectors. The wage value of this net-appropriated labour was equivalent to €16.9 trillion in Northern prices, accounting for skill level. This appropriation roughly doubles the labour that is available for Northern consumption but drains the South of productive capacity that could be used instead for local human needs and development. Unequal exchange is understood to be driven in part by systematic wage inequalities. We find Southern wages are 87–95% lower than Northern wages for work of equal skill. While Southern workers contribute 90% of the labour that powers the world economy, they receive only 21% of global income."
