12 augusti. How to stop global warming - The answer is obvious. Samt Ebba Busch, som vill göra sänkt eller slopad skatt på bostadsvinster till en valfråga.


How to stop global warming. The answer is obvious. Two words, the first one starts with N. That’s right. Net zero. 

Scientists have understood for years that net zero is the point at which global warming stops, meaning temperatures cease rising.  

If you don’t get to net zero, the world will continue warming, and all the things we’re seeing at the moment will get more intense 

For the record, the chances of reaching net zero soon are remote. The longer we wait to reach net zero, the higher the eventual peak temperature will be, and the worse the associated damage. 

And please don’t say your country’s net zero efforts are pointless when it only accounts for a few per cent of global emissions. This buck-passing claim is made in dozens of countries, even though their combined emissions exceed China’s.

The cost of climate action cannot be ignored, but nor can the cost of inaction.

Skulle hon rädda Magdalena Andersson från V och MP om Tidö förlorar? ”Vi är många som skulle vara beredda att ta ansvar.” 

– Jag tror inte att vi ska sträva efter att bli ett hårdare samhälle, utan ett varmare samhälle. Att vi ska ta ansvar för vår nästa, att vi ska ha ett stabilt och generöst bistånd och att välfärden behöver fungera bättre.

Här finns en möjlighet att bygga upp ett folkligt tryck inför valet, säger hon till TT.

Tehran is hardening its approach to any permanent deal with the US after weeks of bitter infighting
The pragmatists, including President Masoud  Pezeshkian, want to end the war and agree to broad sanctions relief, while hardliners oppose diplomatic engagement with the US and question whether the Iranian economy needs US sanctions relief.
Bloomberg 12 August 2026

President Donald Trump claimed the US had “total control over the Hormuz Strait,” as Washington and Tehran hardened their positions in deadlocked negotiations over the critical waterway.

“At some point, maybe they’ll do something, and then they get blown away.”

The escalating rhetoric raises further doubt that any immediate deal can be reached.

President Trump said Wednesday that the U.S. has total control of the Strait of Hormuz. The reality on the water tells a different story.

Ship-tracking data shows that just 14 vessels on Tuesday crossed a waterway that routinely handled more than 130 a day before the war. 

Eleven of those ships took the route administered by Iran.

Cognitive blind spots

Bild
Cognitive blind spots are undermining our ability to see the world as it is, rather than as we would like it to be. At the start of the 21st century, western elites generally assumed that globalisation, democracy and the free market were self-evidently good, and would keep spreading, creating peace. N o longer.  FIS, Swiss Federal Intelligence Service, has published a manual about cognitive blind spots. 18 different cognitive biases that hamper our thinking, such as “group think” (adhering to the cosy assumptions of our tribe), “anchoring” (relying exclusively on whatever information we see first, say on social media),  “confirmation bias” (only seeing data that reinforces pre-existing views),  “mirror imaging” (assuming others think like us),  “absence of evidence” bias (failing to think about the data we lack)  and “survivorship bias” (judging data only with success stories, not failures).

Martin Wolf; The next crash - Why this time might not be different

Bild
Stock markets are not only ignoring the obvious threats, but seem imbued with extreme optimism. In the autumn of 1929, Irving Fisher, one of the greatest American economists, stated: “Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.”  This turned out to be one of the most incorrect forecasts ever made: in short order, US and global stock markets were hit by the Great Crash, which was followed by the Great Depression. Maybe markets were in some sense “right” before the crash and wrong after it. But who cared? For investors and the hundreds of millions of people across the world whose lives were upended by the disaster, the gods of the stock market had failed for a generation. Why might this story be relevant today? The answer is that the valuation of US stocks is even higher today than in September 1929.  The first global financial crisis after the disaster of the 1930s in 2007-09: the easy monetary — and relaxed regulatory — policies adopted after the stoc...
