Care work is often treated as somehow less "real" than making tangible goods. Nonsense. It's physically demanding, emotionally demanding, and often highly skilled. That's real work, mate.⁣

A large Saharan dust plume has stretched across the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa towards the Americas. CAMS data shows that large parts of the Caribbean are most impacted.

The key finding of the report is that energy transition alone will not suffice.

We need to combine it with "sufficiency" to stay within 2 degrees. This includes labour hour reductions, growth caps in rich countries, less material consumption, and changes in food habits.

[Thomas Piketty @PikettyWIL]

The world today is characterized by large-scale inequalities. And a climate crisis is looming over us.

We urgently need a new vision for global progress in the 21st Century. One that grounds human development and equality in planetary habitability.

What would it take to achieve high prosperity and equality while remaining within planetary boundaries?

The World Inequality Lab is very excited to launch the #GlobalJusticeReport.

It seems we are now entering a new phase of the rise of inequality in the US.

It's not just wealth and billionaires — it's a broader acceleration.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline.

“Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet.*

Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming.**

Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”***

* in 1937, Guy Callendar published a paper showing that the world had already warmed over the last 50 years due to human emissions what he called “carbonic acid“ – what we now call CO2 – from burning fossil fuels

** If you are wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?”

— it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now.

So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming.

These differences are later reflected in labour market outcomes.
