A Brief History of Equality by Thomas Piketty
By describing the major historical advances in human equality and how they came about, Thomas Piketty shows us options for growing equality today and in the future. A dry but useful read. #books goodreads.com/book/show/5898…

Congratulations to @SCSU for cutting the ribbon on its new net-zero business school building! The crew @ClimateHaven is excited for the talent emerging from the school, especially from its Public Utilities Management Concentration. @SustainableOwls
Surprised to hear @drvolts leaning into a carbon price. According to @konetic_energy and Jacob Mansfield, without a #priceoncarbon, batteries on the grid increase emissions, but with a #carbonprice, operators will use batteries to reduce emissions. The politics remain unchanged.

Venomous Lumpsucker by @NedBeauman is a useful exploration of the arcs of the extinction crisis, AI, and advanced-stage capitalism. Kind of a goofy menagerie, but a fun, quick read.

This hot summer, my street has been cooler because thoughtful, committed neighbors like Ed Rodriguez and @NewHavenURI planted street trees years ago, which shade the street, filter the air, slow storm water runoff, and make it nice to sit outside. nytimes.com/2023/08/20/us/tr…

Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse makes me feel like a teenager on the beach at night and like a parent at a dinner party. #booktwitter

Well that’s funny, @ezraklein, because this episode taught ME a lot about how decarbonization is going, is likely to go, and the political and policy reasons why. Thank you and @robinsonmeyer! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Yesterday, I joined @WHOSTP and @OMBPress to announce the initiation of the first U.S. national system of natural capital accounts and standardized environmental-economic statistics.
@CommerceGov is taking meaningful steps to combat climate change and nature loss. #EarthDay
On the latest episode of @PricingNature, we asked, "what if we paid oil companies to keep oil in the ground and pump carbon back underground for permanent storage?" It's a moral quandary. @hankgreen keyed into the question of who controls the oil...
Hank Green and I listened to the same podcast today.
Everyone go listen to the latest episode of @PricingNature it was fascinating

Who is planning a giant party to celebrate the Inflation Reduction Act? Everyone working to reverse climate change deserves a moment (a week? a month?) of jubilation.
President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law at the White House on Tuesday.
“This bill is the biggest step forward on climate ever. Ever.”

.@hankgreen on this special episode of @PricingNature: "If we try to pretend no environmental problem has ever been solved, that can be activating for a moment, but it can burn really hot, really fast. And you run out of fuel." @Yale @YaleEnvironment @YaleCBEY #priceoncarbon
On today's bonus episode, we snag an interview with Youtube royalty @hankgreen on how to talk to people about #climatechange. Check it out on our Substack below:
