"Crazy is asymmetrical. The bar for those defending functional institutions, effective government, and wise policy is unavoidably higher than for those intent on undermining them." Me, @atrembath, @alexjmssmith introducing new @TheBTI Journal on Substack. thebreakthroughjournal.substack.com/p/reconstructi…
"The challenge for all of us, in the progress and abundance movements...is to recognize that political critique and commentary bring with them a responsibility, ultimately, to act in the world." via @TedNordhaus @alexjmssmith and myself: thebreakthrough.org/journal/no-20-…
Big news Go on and subscribe It is free👍🔥
On resisting the enshittification of our institutions: @TheBTI Journal is moving to Substack. Read @TedNordhaus, @alexjmssmith, and myself on our hopes to microblog less and reconstruct more. Also: subscribe! thebreakthroughjournal.substack.com/p/reconstructi…
After a short hiatus, Breakthrough Journal will be relaunching on Substack. We will publish essays on topics relevant to climate politics, environmentalism, development, and more. Read our launch post, from @TedNordhaus, @atrembath, and @alexjmssmith here: thebreakthrough.org/journal/no-20-…
New essay - Raising Agricultural Yields Spares Land thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-ag…
A growing chorus of critics claim that sparing land by increasing agricultural yields is unlikely. @TheBTI Senior Fellow @linusblomqvist explains why they are wrong, and why that's so important: thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-ag…
Journalists *really* need to get some sort of handle on reality when it comes to talking about ultra processed food. This piece in The Times labels virtually identical foods as either ‘ultra processed’ or ‘healthy’ depending exclusively on price tag.

NEW: In my latest essay, I argue that opposition to seabed mineral harvesting too often grossly exaggerates enviro impacts, while seeking to ban a promising technology that could help reduce impacts from battery metals sourcing. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
EPA's regulations for gene-edited disease- and pest-resistant crops are "depriving farmers of important tools to protect their crops’ health." @EmmaKovak w/ @TheBTI recommends 4 ways to improve them. thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-ag…
"The impact of land-use is so substantial, that on average it generates more emissions than the direct production of beef." Excellent summary by @EmmaSAanne of our recent paper on the carbon footprint of grass-fed and grain-fed beef. @AnthropoceneMag anthropocenemagazine.org/2024/01/grass-…
"At least 20 African governments spend so little on their national agricultural research and extension systems that they are effectively defunct." A new @TheBTI report recommends how governments, donors, and others can both ramp up & improve research. thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-ag…
New report from me and @jayne_thom @ShamieZingore @SaloniShah101 Pedro Sanchez, Amadou Niang, and Cheryl Palm! We highlight agricultural R&D gaps in sub-Saharan Africa and action items for national governments, international funders, @CGIAR and more. thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-ag…
African governments need improved Agricultural Research and Extension Systems. In a new report, @EmmaKovak and co-authors outline how to coordinate international and national institutions to make African agriculture more productive and profitable. thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-ag…
Very excited to announce the 2024 Breakthrough Dialogue: The Death of Environmentalism. We'll look back at the essay, 20 years later, and ask what it got right, what it got wrong, and where we are heading now.
"@alexjmssmith pushed back against the idea that making meat more central in our politics would convince people to eat less of it." Good @maxmugrah coverage of the meat culture wars @grist. grist.org/food/meat-cult…
Calls for more climate finance are important, but if current practice is any guide, a large share of the funds will be taken from budgets that fund critical development priorities, @vijramachandran and @alexjmssmith write. foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/01/cop…
Essential well-timed piece as #COP28 gets rolling. My colleagues @vijramachandran + @alexjmssmith in @ForeignPolicy point out how $$ for climate finance is too often traded off in a zero-sum fashion at the expense of other forms of development assistance. foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/01/cop…

Journalists *really* need to get some sort of handle on reality when it comes to talking about ultra processed food. This piece in The Times labels virtually identical foods as either ‘ultra processed’ or ‘healthy’ depending exclusively on price tag.

“21st century capitalism continues to be anti-institutional, non-normative, anti-planning, short-termist, and rests on controlling flows more than building. What, then, is the point of a Left that only reflects these dominant characteristics of contemporary society back at it?”
NEW: In my latest essay, I argue that opposition to seabed mineral harvesting too often grossly exaggerates enviro impacts, while seeking to ban a promising technology that could help reduce impacts from battery metals sourcing. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
Interesting to learn there's room for some grassroots oversight for mining on public lands. BLM might want to promote this some other way given that not everyone enjoys scrolling through federal regulations like I do!
For @TheBTI, @wang_seaver argues that harvesting seabed minerals could help society expand metal production for the energy transition more quickly, more ethically, and with lower environmental impacts than if metals were sourced entirely from land: thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
EPA's regulations for gene-edited disease- and pest-resistant crops are "depriving farmers of important tools to protect their crops’ health." @EmmaKovak w/ @TheBTI recommends 4 ways to improve them. thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-ag…
