@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes Vital @cleancooking point about lag in $$ for cooking energy under #se4all #adg7. A new coalition focused on energy gap for the rural poor has made a compelling case for more such investment to be directed to last-mile households, & biomass options. 1/ pathways2cleancooking.info
@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes @andy_grieshop @PamJagger @SETIenergy I was happy to facilitate finding #roomforagreement in Pathways to #CleanCooking meeting last week. I was a #biomasscooking skeptic, like many focused mainly on #PM25, for which #LPG is clear scaleable option. But saw #stacking reality - clean and smoky cooking together in India.
@cleancooking @paulbledsoe @Forbes @andy_grieshop @PamJagger @SETIenergy The declaration that emerged makes vital #cleancooking and #sdg7 points. Those gathered had different vantage points, but overcame resistance to #responsediversity & found common agenda. To me, next step is widening circles. Wicked problems need everyone engaged. #energyjustice

@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes e.g., the core narrative that CO2-driven warming is a "problem to solve." Given known knowns on social, CO2 fronts, seems far more an emergent risk to work on in a sustained way. The attached slide puts this in the context of other "War On.." issues. 1/

@ASKusmer @ddimick @onthemedia @InsideNatGeo @DrTempleGrandin @nytimes @wenstephenson @UNFCCC @CFigueres “We’re not going to solve climate change,” said @cfigueres in opening #AspenIdeas chat with @DLeonhardt & former Obama lead negotiator Todd Stern. She stressed #parisagreement set us on a very long journey toward a climate-resilient, post-carbon world. 3/

Thirty years ago today, #GlobalWarming first became headline news as NASA's James Hansen testified, DC baked, Yellowstone burned. Here's the opener of my @DiscoverMag cover story, pegged to the Senate hearing. CO2 seemed destined to follow CFCs.. 1/ j.mp/warming88revkin
The impacts projected then were those emerging now, including chronic flooding of Miami and other low coastal cities.. 2/
Models and measurements by @PeterGleick & others pointed to vulnerability to California's snowpack water supplies.. 3/

Ah, the #EuropeanParliamentElection knocks at the door! Let’s see who is #campaigning for what…In #Italy, a #rightwingcoalition calls for a #guaranteedincome, #largerpensions, and resistance to the heavy-handed #austerityprograms enforced by the #EuropeanUnion.
In #France, some #rightwinggroups champion #fight against #climatechange, decry #exploitation of #foreignworkers, growing #economicinequality. What about the #centerright and #centerleft parties? #Polls show they will lose their #majority, and the Euroskeptics bag 30+% of seats.
However, #Euroskeptic, like #populist, is a term that obscures more than it reveals. #Spain’s leftist #Podemos isn’t likely to break bread with #Italy’s rightist #NorthernLeague-#M5S, but both are considered #Euroskeptic. Some are really #wolves but wear #sheepskins.

Stop calling evangelicals "fake Christians." They're the largest group of Christians in the US (mainline Protestants have only roughly half their numbers. They are the majority of American Christians, like it or not, which makes them the face of American Christianity.
I had a fascinating talk with an American Eastern Orthodox Christian, who made a compelling case that American evangelicalism is as much a new, distinctive offshoot of Christianity--that is, a different religion--as Mormonism.
I'm not sure I agree--in my opinion, what defines Mormonism as a different religion from Christianity is that they have a different primary holy text--but evangelicalism does look like a different religion from Catholicism/Eastern Orthodoxy.

ISIS lost 99% of it's teritory in Syria. What are our troops supposed to do? Sit there indefinitely, all 2,000 of them in support of the GCC coalition doing the actual heavy lifting? There is no more territory to take from these ISIS goons.

The locals can handle it.
See, unlike other Presidents, Trump has an actual real calculus:

When does our being there outweigh the actual support we're providing to taking territory AWAY FROM ISIS?

And according to Trump's calculus, we've PASSED that point.
The usual neocon infantilzing of Middle Easter countries continues. Unless the US is there 'leading the way' it's all gonna turn to crap.

Well this isn't the Middle East of the 1990's. The GCC is running the show, we're back up.

And we're no longer needed.

Lord Meghnad Desai, the British Labour Peer in the House of Lords, wrote in his 2017 book - “Politicshock” that 2016 will go down as the year that marked the collapse of the “liberal world order”.
He added -

“Brexit and Trump mark the collapse of the liberal order worldwide, a phenomenon which saw its beginning with Modi's rise in 2014”
But what was Meghnad talking about? What is this “liberal world order”? It is one of those nice sounding words of modernity that everyone wants to appropriate, but few offer a precise definition.

(THREAD--196 TWEETS). Mueller, the FBI, and the dog that hasn’t barked.
Glenn Simpson’s Congressional testimonies, and an update on the Steele dossier.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: The Adventure of Silver Blaze

1/ Glenn Simpson’s testimony before the the Senate Judiciary Committee on 22 Aug and House Intelligence Committee on 14 Nov of this year provide a clearer timeline of events during the 2016 presidential campaign and some very important and useful insights into the Steele dossier.
2/ As for the timeline: From these two recently published transcripts we learn that Steele’s first contact with the FBI occurred in London on 5 July 2016. Steele’s London contact would almost certainly have been the FBI’s legat or legal attaché there at the time.
