  6. All right, let's keep going! It technically wasn't a formal censure from the House, just a resolution expressing disapproval. And technically the episode *did* affect Wilson's career, in that it have him a huge fundraising & visibility boost. Is that it now?

  7. Further factchecking! It was not Obama's SOTU, it was just a speech to a joint session of Congress. Anybody else wanna take a swing at what is shaping up to be the worst tweet ever?

  8. Ah, factcheck! He actually shouted "you lie!" And he was formally censured by the House ... to no discernible effect on his career or status in the party.

  9. During Obama's 2009 SOTU, wingnut Joe Wilson shouted, in the middle of it, "liar!" It brought neither him or his party any negative consequences at all. I'd like you to imagine what would happen if AOC attended the SOTU tonight and did the same thing.

  11. Interesting new research addresses the question: "what are national political economic constraints to climate policy, and which countries are exposed to them?" Attempts to roughly categorize countries based on their "architectures of constraint."

  13. Again, from protozoa to large mammals, this is how all of life behaves. It appears to be programmed into life itself. Can humans, with their big brains, plan & think their way around this biological imperative? Uh ... maybe? But probably not. ☠️

  14. It implies that human beings will behave the way *literally any form of life we are aware of* behaves in a bounded environment with copious available resources & no predators: grow beyond what its ecosystem can support & then crash.

  15. ... from where I'm sitting, it looks like we don't have the wherewithal or political means to stop growing & we can't keep growing without exhausting limited resources & overheating the planet. What does that imply?

  16. ... the "green growth" people are also delusional in thinking that "absolute decoupling" is possible based on a few scattered, modest, & often misleading examples. (The UK & CA exported, not eliminated, their industrial emissions.) Growth will consume finite resources. So ...

  17. My (characteristically depressing) take on this question: the "degrowth" people are delusional, in that slowing growth (in any way actual humans could pull it off) will create enormous blowback & probably make democracy impossible. However ...

  19. Really well-done piece by on the most important long-term question facing humanity: can human economies continue growing without frying the planet?
