Here is a brief response to Noah Smith's recent article on degrowth. Most of the claims have already been dealt with in the published literature, and others I agree with, so there's not much interesting to say. But a few thoughts:

Uitstekend artikel in Trouw Nederland is een bedrijventerrein geworden, waarbij alles draait om betaalbaarheid en verdiencapaciteit. Ecologie is ondergeschikt gemaakt aan economie. Verandering dringend gewenst.

Doe je ook mee? Onderteken het burgerinitiatief om bijengif uit te bannen in de EU. Ze zijn er bijna, hebben nog tot donderdag 30 september. Go!

Vorig jaar slachtten we in NL zo’n 1,6 miljoen kuikens, 54 duizend kippen, 46 duizend varkens, 4300 kalveren, 1400 lammeren, 1200 koeien, 550 geiten, 500 schapen, 150 stieren, 34 vaarzen, en 4 paarden per dag #dierendag opendata.cbs.nl/#/CBS/nl/datas…

Absolutely brilliant speech by Barbados PM Mia Mottley at #COP26  If you only have time to listen to one COP26 speech - this is the one!

Vanochtend las ik dit artikel NRC. In mijn ogen: een ongenuanceerd applaus voor technologische vooruitgang en economische groei. Daarom een reactie van een ‘Ontgroeier’ Een draadje: 1/12 nrc.nl/nieuws/2021/11…

@susteinability, @ThomasFranssen, Mandy de Wilde & I took a look at the European Commission's labyrinthine and unsurprisingly modernist approach to environmental harm in research and innovation, and thought about alternatives. #sts #scipol #greendeal link.springer.com/article/10.100…
