I don't think climate policy folks have really wrestled w. how to deal w/ the IMMENSE global concentration of wealth. It creates a vicious feedback among "liberal" democracies. Govāts are beholden to firms that "support" their economies ā in an increasingly volatile fashion. 1/

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."
Read that again: **116** times.

In a new paper, we ask āCan rail reduce British aviation emissions?ā doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2024.1ā¦ We find that 44% of UK international flights could have a rail alternative now or in the future, but that only covers 14% of emissions.
