2/ "When the Fed/s net income is positive, the amount of money that they owe to the Treasury is listed as a liability, since they are about to hand it over as a remittance. However, by accumulating losses, this liability becomes negative. What is a negative liability? An asset!"
3/ "So, the Fed’s cumulative losses become negative liabilities, and thus are referred to as deferred assets. These deferred assets represent the total amount of money that the Fed gets to pay themselves back if they ever become profitable again."

1) Hydrocarbons are basically old sunlight stored underground that we need to dig up and transport and with solar we will eventually bypass the whole distribution system and democratize the capture solar energy where we are! (2/14)
I appreciated this perspective because it shows us that all animals are basically batteries that store energy from sunlight. Fossil fuels are just animals that have decomposed into a different form and are now being extracted. Renewables stabilized by bitcoin mining (3/14)
The IPCC Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability was released today. I'm going to go through the executive summary and post some "highlights". #IPCC #IPCCReport

Risk can arise from the dynamic interactions among climate-related hazards,exposure & vulnerability of affected human & ecological systems. Risk that can be introduced by human responses to #climatechange is a new consideration in the risk concept. There are 127 key risks.
Observed Impacts from Climate Change:
" The rise in weather and climate extremes has led to some irreversible impacts as natural and human systems are pushed beyond their ability to adapt"

How the #DigitalDevelopment community thinks about sharing #information, #resources, and #data and partners to advance #DigitalTransformation will be key to creating #impact from our efforts and ensuring country #governments can replicate them to better serve their #citizens.
DIAL thinks about #partnerships in everything it does—in fact, were founded in 2015 by a partnership of #global #donors seeking to connect incredibly promising #DigitalDevelopment efforts that had failed to achieve #scale.
