Fun math question: In how many ways can you divide 120 people into 4 groups of 30? Answer is a thread:

Few people realize it, but this study shows the average cost of owning a vehicle in Canada is $16,000 per year.

Building cities that allow families to drive less or own fewer vehicles would go a long way towards solving affordability and cost of living.

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world.

I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

The only province with potential blackouts tonight is the one with privatized grids and over 90% of power from fossil fuels.

Just saying.

Here’s the BIG thing that we’re not talking about NEARLY enough. We often ask the questions “Should growth pay for itself” and “Does growth pay for itself?” The better, more important question has always been WHAT KIND OF GROWTH PAYS FOR ITSELF, and what kind of growth doesn’t?

This is so crazy.

The Northern Hemisphere used to radiate more heat to space than it absorbed from the sun.

The difference was made up for by heat transported north from the Southern Hemisphere through (mainly the Atlantic) oceans and atmosphere.

Around 2014 the amount of Absorbed Solar Radiation started to rapidly increase, surpassing Outgoing Longwave (Thermal or IR) Radiation to space, leading to a positive Energy Imbalance of the Northern Hemisphere!

So more heat was absorbed from the sun than radiated to space, possibly also reducing heat transported from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere and leaving more to e.g. melt Antarctic Sea ice.

In recent years this energy imbalance has been increasing further, as air pollution and cloud cover decreased, and the amount of sunlight reflected back to space decreased.

And because outgoing heat radiation was not increasing (as much).

The balance can be restored (or made negative again) in two ways:

1⃣ Increasing Outgoing Longwave Radiation.
For that temperatures of the Northern Hemisphere need to increase, which is happening at the moment.

2⃣ Increasing air pollution and cloud cover to reflect more sunlight to space.

Neither of these are policy recommendations.

We are between a rock and a hard place.

People need to be aware of the situation.

We started our campaign believing in you – the people of Manitoba.

And in return, so many of you put your faith in us. You came out to support us – some for the very first time. You made calls & knocked doors. You voted.

From the bottom of my heart – Thank you. Merci. Miigwech.

Here are monthly absolute temperatures (compared to anomalies). This September would not have been out of place as a typical July this decade in terms of global temperatures.

The maximum dewpoint today in Winnipeg was 24.0 C, beating the previous record of 23.6 C in 2010. The dewpoint reached 26 C at my house and was reported as high as 27 C in Morris and Winkler. #mbwx

Day 500 of the Russian war in Ukraine.

I am president of the Kyiv School of Economics, a former minister of economy of Ukraine, and a professor of economics at the University of Pittsburgh. I left the US for Kyiv 4 days before the war.

These are the lessons I learned. 1/
