https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mundo/2023/12/milhares-protestam-contra-megadecreto-de-milei-para-desregular-economia.shtml
Milhares de pessoas participaram de um protesto em Buenos Aires, capital da Argentina, nesta quarta-feira (27) contra o "megadecreto" anunciado pelo presidente do país, Javier Milei.

(..) Segundo o jornal Clarín, a relação entre manifestantes e a polícia foi marcada por tensão, incluindo a detenção de pessoas que tentavam fechar faixas de trânsito nas ruas. (..) Um protocolo de segurança anunciado anteriormente por Milei autoriza o uso de forças federais contra quem bloquear vias e impedir a livre circulação com protestos não autorizados pelo governo na Argentina. (..) Em uma mensagem na plataforma X, antigo Twitter, a Central de Trabalhadores da Argentina (CTA) dizia: "Abaixo as DNU [Decreto de Necessidade e Urgência]. Nenhum ajuste a mais. Nenhum direito a menos".

As historically high temperatures continued to be registered in many parts of the world in late December, the former Nasa scientist James Hansen told the Guardian that 2023 would be remembered as the moment when failures became apparent.

“When our children and grandchildren look back at the history of human-made climate change, this year and next will be seen as the turning point at which the futility of governments in dealing with climate change was finally exposed,” he said. “Not only did governments fail to stem global warming, the rate of global warming actually accelerated.” (..)

Now director of the climate programme at Columbia University’s Earth Institute in New York, Hansen said the best hope was for a generational shift of leadership. “The bright side of this clear dichotomy is that young people may realise that they must take charge of their future. The turbulent status of today’s politics may provide opportunity,” he said. (..)

NYTimes 26-12-2023
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/26/business/economy/christmas-holiday-spending-retail.html
Despite lingering inflation, Americans increased their spending this holiday season, early data shows. That comes as a big relief for retailers that had spent much of the year fearing the economy would soon weaken and consumer spending would fall. (..)

O crescimento do consumo nos padrões atuais, vital para a saúde da “economia”, é também o caminho mais seguro e rápido para o colapso ambiental planetário. A urgência de uma economia mundial alternativa, substancialmente planejada com a inestimável ajuda dos computadores quânticos e disso que hoje chamam de "inteligência artificial", é um segredo de polichinelo, por muito que os beneficiários da que temos hoje finjam não saber. Resta ver quem poderá construí-la - e como.

Avebarna Domingo: O capital no século XXI

Michael Roberts Blog 03-12-2-023, por M Roberts
https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2023/12/03/why-real-world-economics-matters/

(..) Real world economics should be about understanding what is happening in the world around us: what causes inflation, unemployment, poverty, inequality, climate change etc. And what are the economic policy answers. But there is a problem. What I call mainstream economics does not discuss or deal with these real world issues very well.

One example directly involving this very building springs to mind. Back in the depth of what came to be called the Great Recession of 2008-9 when all the major economies were suffering a sharp and deep fall in national output, employment and average incomes, after a humungous collapse in the banking and financial systems, Queen Elizabeth visited the London School of Economics. As she stepped into this very building, she asked the gathering of eminent economists who met her: “Why did no one see it coming?”(..)

(..) In my view, real world economics must look at the ‘big picture’. Economists should not be just doctors but social scientists, or more accurately they should develop an economics that recognises the wider social forces that drive economic models. That is called political economy, mostly not taught in universities. Let me remind you of some of the big picture economic issues that will affect us all much more than anything like whether the HS2 rail line is built or income taxes should be raised or reduced.

First, there is global warming and climate change. The international Cop28 is meeting in Dubai right now on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – what is needed is a 43% reduction in emissions by the end of this decade if the world is to avoid an average increase in global temperature more than 2C above pre-industrial levels.

What are the economic theories and policies that can achieve that reduction? It is worrying to know as the LSE’s own Nicholas Stern, the world’s leading climate economist, has noted: “Economics has contributed disturbingly little to discussions about climate change. As one example, the most prestigious mainstream Quarterly Journal of Economics, currently the most-cited journal in the field of economics, has never published an article on climate change!”

Then there is the issue of global poverty and rising inequality of wealth and income between nations around the world and within nations. (..)

Economics and economists should not be sucked into just being like dentists fixing teeth, but also use their skills and the scientific method to understand the big picture and so help to make a better world for all. Then perhaps we can avoid being visited by King Charles at some time in future and have him repeat what Queen Elizabeth said: “why did you not see that coming?”

Avebarna Herald: Marmelada ambiental

The Guardian 12-12-2023
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/11/climate-deniers-attend-cop28-talks
Influential industry trade groups, thinktanks and public relations agencies with a track record in climate denialism and misleading the public have been given access to the UN climate talks in Dubai, the Guardian can reveal. Corporate Accountability, a transparency watchdog, has found that UN organizers greenlighted access to groups that have obstructed fossil fuel regulations and other climate action, giving them the same or greater access to the international negotiations as Indigenous communities, human rights groups and climate justice organizations.

Organizations and individuals invited by country-delegations also have access to closed-room negotiations from which civil society and grassroots groups are locked out. The new data, derived from official UN delegate lists, found at least 166 climate deniers and fossil fuel public relations professionals are at Cop28. The true number is probably significantly higher as only the most prominent bodies were included in the analysis. Some of the groups have been coming to the UN climate talks for years. (..)

Avebarna Domingo: O capital no século XXI

Michael Roberts blog 16-12-2023, por M Roberts
https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2023/12/16/cop28-business-as-usual/

The COP28 conference on what to do about global warming and climate change held in Dubai finished last Thursday. Attended by a record 70,000 people (carbon footprint?) and hosted by the head of Dubai’s state oil company (!), the final statement appeared to make a major breakthrough. The statement talked of “a transition away from all fossil fuels”. For the first time, it was agreed that fossil fuel exploration, production and use must end. An historic step, it has been argued.

But a ‘transition away’ is really mealy-mouthed sophistry to avoid ‘phasing down’, let alone ‘phasing out’ fossil fuels that cause over 90% of all carbon emissions into the atmosphere. The ‘transition away’ means that fossil fuel companies can go on producing oil, gas and coal and countries and governments and companies can go on using these energy sources with no agreed reductions. It’s business as usual for the energy companies and for countries with high greenhouse gas emissions. (..)

(..) According to Daniela Gabor, an associate professor in economics at the University of the West of England, we need states to undertake an “extensive, deep intervention in the reorganisation of economic activity that is necessary for a just transition. Carbon wealth taxes don’t even begin to scratch the surface of that transformation.” Jason Hickel wants “democratic control over investment … and production, because profit-seeking markets prioritise the wrong things. When people have democratic control over production, they prioritise human well-being and ecological sustainability,” he says.

This must mean a campaign to bring into public ownership the fossil fuel industry globally and to use the profits and revenues to dramatically invest in renewables, electrification and environmental projects. The solution does not lie in replacing petrol and diesel vehicles with electric cars, but in replacing private transport with carbon and price-free public transport. The solution is not in building homes for profit and speculation, but in well planned urban housing projects built by governments and controlled by working people.

And we still face hell if we do not stop the destruction of nature and instead save the forests, wetlands, land and ocean life. Saving the planet and its species is inexorably connected to controlling global warming.

A Suprema Corte russa proibiu, nesta quinta-feira, 30, o ativismo LGBT+ no país. Decidindo em resposta a uma ação movida pelo Ministério da Justiça, o tribunal rotulou o que a ação chama de “movimento” LGBT+ que opera na Rússia como uma organização extremista. A decisão abre caminho para implementar ações jurídicas contra qualquer grupo que defenda os direitos LGBT+ na Rússia.

O juiz da principal jurisdição do país, Oleg Nefedov, ordenou classificar como “extremistas o movimento internacional LGBT e suas filiais” e pediu para “proibir suas atividades no território da Federação russa”, segundo jornalistas da AFP. Nefedov leu o veredicto à imprensa e indicou que a decisão entra em vigor “imediatamente”.

George Santos, the New York Republican congressman whose tapestry of lies and schemes made him a figure of national ridicule and the subject of a 23-count federal indictment, was expelled from the House on Friday after a decisive bipartisan vote by his peers.

The move consigned Mr. Santos, who over the course of his short political career invented ties to the Holocaust, Sept. 11 and the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, to a genuine place in history: He is the first person to be expelled from the House without first being convicted of a federal crime or supporting the Confederacy.
