Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin. [Polite comments only, please.]

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews. From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance. You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

What's truly mystifying is how it took economists decades to figure out that destroying the planet would also destroy the economy. A special discipline, for sure.

Climate damages are "6X LARGER than previously thought", says new NBER working paper – every 1C wipes out 12% of global GDP – every tonne of CO2 causes >$1,000 of damages @GernotWagner tells me: "Assuming nobody finds a flaw in this paper, it is going to truly change things"
