As former ambassador of European climate policies, I felt appalled every few months while my job lasted. A seemingly insoluble problem us that for a long time all they do outsources problems via trade leading to land systems change---deforestation.
The carbon storage point made in the article is not valid for some countries in the EU, as they have more forest now that decades ago, and too much wildfire risk setting higher priorities.

I was looking forward to a thread like this, very motivating! Being a hacker without a CS degree sometimes creates steep learning curves.

Now that you mention it, once in Santa Fe (NM) I had a great dinner in a Mexican... I felt the conversation went wild due to some substance --- I suspected thc --- but this really rings only a partial bell... why I never felt it so strong in Asia, where I consumes more capsaicin?

"I’m pretty sure inhabitants will drink their own [processed] urine" this is a totally normal thing across world regions and a sign of civilization, why such funky immature stance?

"though surprisingly not all board members." reads as naive in this otherwise excellent piece, and shows what board membership is: corruption, revolving doors, and a bilateral way to influence stakeholders.
"Rundell’s take is that the Saudi state is, always has been, and always will be anti-terrorist because the ultimate goals of the monarchy are stability, stability, and stability" yet another naivitè, or rather an inability to think outside the box.

Good questions and good points... something that bothers me is that networks are treated into micro when they actually relate to meso... connecting micro and macro.
Impossible to discern who would share the prize. Also, his network science is childish compared to nowadays econophysics multiplex approaches, but this was never a deterrent for the comittee.

Oh yes, forgot to mention that to cook delicious beans you need real cooking skills... I enjoy barbecue too, and I am sorry for those (many many here) unable to experiment other stuff. Innovating in cooking can also be a form of hacking.

Migration and work. Same problem, same system, two locations. So why pointing out whataboutortogonalism?

This comment lacks basic understanding of a human as an inherent whole of attitudes and values, and how these relate to actions, and in particular to the cognitive dissonance emerging from past actions.
