Text: If Europe stays on its current trajectory climate damages will drive debt-to-gdp ratios over 100% high than official projections in the worst hit eu countries. With a heat map showing the increase in debt-to-gdp ratios in different EU countries.

🚨NEW: The impact of climate change on our economic stability is being hugely underestimated.

Our latest analysis shows climate damage could drive the EU’s debt-to-GDP ratio 58 percentage points higher than official projections by 2050.

This is what ecocide looks like.

🚨 New Report: Taxing fossil fuel profits, not consumers Taxing fossil fuel industry profits would provide a structural signal to investors, discouraging continued investment in fossil fuel activities and reallocating capital in the energy transition,…

🛢️Fossil fuel industry: Gigantic profits
💸Damage they cause? We all pay the bill
💡Solution: Let’s tax big polluters’ profits

➡️Our new study shows taxing fossil profits would not raise consumer prices. Instead, it would reduce shareholder returns, incentivising gradual move of capital to renewables.

We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate – here are the first three steps | Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

A great article by @jasonhickel.bsky.social and @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social. But I do wish we could all stop using the wolf as a metaphor for the worst kinds of human behaviour. Wolves are wonderful creatures, endlessly maligned - and also victims of capitalism.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it.

Number of UK newspaper editorials arguing for more (blue) and less (red) climate action, 2011-2025. Some editorials also present a “balanced” view, which is categorised as advocating for neither “more” nor “less” climate action. These editorials are not represented in this chart.

Over €50bn per year in fossil subsidies across the EU still have no phase-out date - despite long-overdue promises to set it.

We need a binding, EU-wide framework on fossil subsidies, with harmonised definitions, mandatory reporting and enforceable phase-out deadlines.

Orange regions are tourism-dependent, lighter orange have lower income and business travel, and yellow show low business travel demand but high outbound tourism.

These claims, often echoed by governments to justify airport expansion, are undermined by new research.
