Where would the @nytopinion be better putting its resources to? An opinion piece that eviscerated any of the individual or political roadblocks to a humanity-saving climate policy? Or critiquing a young girl trying to save us all.

That’s the fault of editors.
How about a piece from a conservative writer that talked about how US is blowing chance to develop market cornering technologies or a military/strategic advantage?
Has non-Trumpy conservatism just been reduced to complaining about campus politics and young activists?

How...boring and limiting.

If you are in total despair about America and guns, listening to my @mojopodcast interview with @shannonrwatts of Moms Demand might help. Gun control advocates have won a lot of victories in the past two years, we just need national action: motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
@MoJoPodcast @shannonrwatts The GOP underestimates how deeply and widely women's rage and fear re guns and their rage and fear re Trump have mobilized them. That such mobilization echos abolition, sufferage, prohibition, child labor protests of years past. Anyway, it'll give you hope.
@MoJoPodcast @shannonrwatts Women powered the 2018 results. White republican suburban women are fleeing from Trump. Yes, more of them should not voted for him in the first place, but women's organizing and rage will be the key to the 2020 elections.

1/ I'm going to tell you a story about one of the first big stories I ever personally broke, because I think it reveals a few big lessons of our era.
2/ I was a 20-something reporter at @wcp. My brother, who's in law enforcement, pointed out this ad in one of the gun magazines, Guns and Ammo it think.
@wcp 3/ This was just after the passage of the (Bill)Clinton-era assault weapons ban. Long story short, the ad led me to a story that the @DCPoliceDept was selling their high capacity magazines/clips (don't bother me with your vocab nonsense BS gun boys) back to Glock.

It was obvious months ago that the killings would mount and they’d have to deplatform or risk blowback so great it could consume them. But @eastdakota was adamant then. Boy, bye.
Also tech reporters should force @alexisohanian to reckon with what Reddit has wrought too.
We will never have a modicum of safety and sanity until tech companies start acting responsible. Until the ~white men in charge of them start listening to the rest of us.

A week of @ExtinctionR protests begins today across the UK - in Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow, London and here in Bristol, where they will occupy a city centre bridge. The aim to get Govt to change #climate policy, but police are concerned about local short term effects. More @GMB
Police are expecting around 1000 @ExtinctionR protestors in #Bristol, with a large number already in the city. They promise a non-violent campaign to change climate policy, starting this morning with a mindfulness gathering in early morning sunshine.
Protestors urging the government to #actnow on #ClimateChange.

THREAD: 'Quantitative Easing (#QE) for the #Climate', summary of blogpost of @pdegrauwe from @LSEEcon, questioning:

'To what extent can the money created by the central bank be used to finance investments in the environment?'

Short answer: fully
"There is no restriction on what types of assets the @ecb can buy. Since 2015 when it started QE, the @ecb has mainly bought government bonds, but also corporate bonds from financial inst. The @ecb could, however, also purchase bonds [...] to finance environmental investments."
"A possible objection is [...]: If the @ecb buys these "environmental bonds", it will be involved in the decision-making process about which environmental investments should have a priority. [...] These are all questions that have to be settled by political authorities [...]."

1) We need a Lie tracker on Andrew Scheer, Doug Ford, & Jason Kenney

Those I follow who are excellent sources on the carbon tax are
@trevortombe @andrew_leach, @EcofiscalCanada @kevinmilligan

The rest of the thread is mostly ammunition against lies
#cdnpoli, #onpoli #ableg
2) Andrew Scheer begins new year with warning of skyrocketing carbon taxes

"The Liberal carbon tax is just about raising revenue for government."

LIAR: 90% of it goes back to Citizens. #cdnpoli

3) Trudeau’s carbon tax takes effect in industrial heartland

"Consumers in the holdout provinces will receive federal payments that will exceed their carbon tax bill in a bid to cushion the blow"

1. Thread:

Riots in France, 2nd rejection of carbon tax in Washington State, and u-turns in Germany and Ireland, all since Oct:

Are carbon taxes are dead, and we should look to plan B on climate?

2. Climate dumbassess have been lining up to dance on carbon pricing's grave.

@WSJ_Online ’s Ed Board were among the 1st to sound the death knell, arguing that nothing better reveals “the disconnect between ordinary voters and an aloof political class”: wsj.com/articles/the-g…

Why do we keep falling short on #carbon pricing? (And what to do about it)

A thread on how policy can accelerate the pace of progress towards a low-carbon #energy system commensurate with the threat posed by #climatechange...
Putting a price on carbon.

The IPCC report on holding global warming to 1.5°C released Sunday calls for it. A share of the Nobel in Economics was awarded to William Nordhaus this week for championing it. It's arguably the most efficient and powerful climate policy available.
So why do governments around the world keep falling short on carbon pricing, and how can break this logjam? I discussed these challenges with the @NYTimes @BradPlumer in an article appearing in yesterday's paper. nytimes.com/2018/10/08/cli…
