Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today.

Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025.

Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon.

Now here's what you're "saving":

Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity.

Coal costs $69–$169/MWh.
Wind costs $27–$53/MWh.
Solar costs $38–$78/MWh.

99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind.

That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room.

And the human cost of what you're "saving"?

460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023)

All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

[OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives @OECD]

Our 🆕 plastics report shows that, without new policies, in 2040:

➡️ Annual production and use will increase by 70%
➡️ 19% of waste will be mismanaged
➡️ The stock of plastics in rivers and oceans will double

Resumen de los efectos de la integración completa de los migrantes venezolanos en los mercados laborales y servicios sociales en Colombia:

1- Ningún impacto en los empleos de los trabajadores colombianos
2- Ninguna reacción políticas adversa
3-Menor gasto público
4- No aumentó la criminalidad contra los colombianos, pero sí más denuncias de abuso por parte de mujeres migrantes empoderadas para denunciar
5-Grandes mejoras en la autosuficiencia y bienestar de los migrantes
6- Menores tasas de fertilidad entre los migrantes

Colombia's full integration of Venezuelan migrants into labor markets and social services led to:

1- No impact on Colombian workers’ jobs
2- No political backlash
3- Reduced government spending
4- No rise in crime against Colombians, but more reports of abuse from female migrants empowered to report
5- Major improvements in migrants' self-reliance and well-being
6- Lower fertility rates among migrants

@dgomezco Oiga dónde puedo encontrar esa evaluación de Hallak?

[Mauricio Cárdenas S. @MauricioCard]

Tremendo esto.

Insisto: Hace rato Hacienda debió recortar gasto. No hacerlo es jugar con candela.

Milton Friedman explains market economies with a pencil.

[Camilo Herrera Mora @consumiendo]

"(La pobreza) en 1986 era de 62%, en 1990 era 52,5% y en 2023 fue de 12,1%: un logro impresionante, que demuestra el éxito de las políticas públicas de seguridad social y gasto público desde la constitución de 1991."

Two waves of productivity growth in manufacturing—powered by Moore’s law and offshoring—have ended.

Investment in areas such as digitization, automation, and artificial intelligence could fuel new waves of productivity growth: https://t.co/XjLry8Lmxe

[McKinsey Global Institute @McKinsey_MGI]

Emerging economies in the ‘fast lane’ of productivity growth have narrowed the gap with advanced economies, with China and India at the forefront.

What's behind this rapid progress? Our new research lays out five key elements ➡️ https://t.co/XjLry8Lmxe

[McKinsey Global Institute @McKinsey_MGI]

Which sectors have driven the productivity slowdown in advanced economies?

What drives productivity growth?

MGI research shows that capital per worker growth is the key driver, with ‘fast-lane’ regions like China, India, and Central Europe carving out the #productivity #growth frontier ➡ https://t.co/XjLry8Lmxe

[McKinsey Global Institute @McKinsey_MGI]

The past 25 years have been a success story for global productivity—with China and India accounting for nearly half of aggregate global productivity growth. But many economies experienced productivity stagnation.

[McKinsey Global Institute @McKinsey_MGI]

Which economies have above-average economic complexity, a measure of the diversity and sophistication of the products that an economy can produce?

Understand why this capability is an indication of a country’s economic development and competitiveness ➡️https://t.co/XjLry8Lmxe

[McKinsey Global Institute @McKinsey_MGI]

Productivity growth in advanced economies slowed to below 1 percent during 2012-2022. Why?

1️⃣ End of two manufacturing waves
2️⃣ Secular investment decline

Addressing these issues could unlock significant gains in incomes. https://t.co/XjLry8Lmxe
