Even a lot of the coal we mine these days wouldn’t be accessible to a pre-industrial civilization. You need to walk before you run, and to walk you need some coal that’s close to the surface — it’s an independent non-climate reason to “leave it in the ground.” — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The Industrial Revolution depended on access to coal. And even though we have lots of other ways of making electricity today, it doesn’t seem like you could make a photovoltaic panel or other modern power sources unless you already had industrial technology. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Suppose industrial civilization completely collapsed in the wake of some catastrophe that didn’t quite wipe out all of humanity. Could we rebuild? Could the Industrial Revolution happen again? Well if it happened once it stands to reason it could happen again. But… — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of @willmacaskill content out today on the web for the release of his book. I liked it a lot! Thought I would contribute by sharing an idea I read in it that’s a bit askance from his main argument but that I found fascinating and was new to me. — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeStreckert @ZeePDX @BritishPodcast The thing about “50% reduction in survivability is fine so long as there's no turn away from capitalism because that sounds disruptive” is it’s not something I actually said.

@nilocobau @JakeAnbinder That's a good point. The way you originally wrote it, I saw Paris as the exceptional urban form but arguably it's the normative one from that era with the Anglophone ones as exceptional. — PolitiTweet.org

@paulg There was always this joke about why academic politics is so petty and vicious, but now we see it daily. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Maybe communicating ideas effectively to a broad public of educated laypeople is itself a distinct field of endeavor and expertise, and its most-skilled practitioners know what they are doing when they don't bog their pieces down with extensive literature review sections? — PolitiTweet.org

Great hire by the NYT of @CarlosLozadaWP — an impressive thinker and writer on books and the politics/culture interface who'll also help close a glaring representational void at the world's most important opinion section. https://t.co/nJQZFvW8nT — PolitiTweet.org

Funding the IRS more is, in fact, a good thing, and probably one of the least objectionable parts of the reconciliation bill.

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@MattZeitlin In an inflationary climate, I think there’s a substantive problem with relying on a super-narrow revenue base over and above the politics. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@davidmanheim @moskov I think this hesitancy stems from people wrongly making emissions the target variable rather than human welfare. — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe you couldn’t have gotten anything better by caving sooner, but I think there’s a strong prima facile case that backing out of the terms of that memo wasted time, sapped goodwill, and generally backfired. — PolitiTweet.org

@robertwiblin In the US, sodomy laws were still on the books in a bunch of states when the Supreme Court struck them down in 2003 at a time when there were plenty of openly gay people in Miami, Dallas, and other major cities where it was banned. https://t.co/6lfkgv5Jk0 — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds of millions of people are living in places that are currently on track for absolutely cataclysmic outcomes and that continues to be true even as the global worst-case scenarios have become less likely. — PolitiTweet.org

One upshot is that liberalized immigration flows are a very effective climate mitigation — people’s ability to move away from the most-harmed areas and toward the most-benefitted ones is going to be a key driver of aggregate welfare. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The average net impact of climate change is substantial and negative but the location-specific impacts are much bigger, just partially offsetting because some places benefit. https://t.co/r5Ec99Tepy https://t.co/DJAqetFHdN — PolitiTweet.org
