    Just lovely to see a hand bag designer explaining development economics to the IMF.

    There's a difference between aid and development assistance, @IvankaTrump explains—and if assistance is received, there must be cooperation toward achieving a long-term result. How #WGDP aligns with America First:

    COP26 in 1: 1. Progress made on negotiations 2. Media dominated by hyperbole & platitude. 3. Soaring rhetoric was the star, action still elusive. 4. Too little detailed diplomacy; too much high flying. 5. Celebrity = useless 6. Loads of hubris and hypocrisy by rich countries.

    I am still frantically checking with several presidential historians, but this might be the first president to ever be banned from twitter...at least since 1812.

    Let me sum up the energy crisis in Texas: 1. People are suffering, and cold. 2. Workers are doing their best. 3. It is a complex and interconnected systems issue, and therefore cannot be simplified to a specific market, technology, regulation, planning issue, or operation.

    This is pretty likely to be a bad decision: 1. It won't have a material impact on pump prices. 2. It will have a negative environmental consequence. 3. It amplifies already bad policy. 4. It may exacerbate global food insecurity.

    Today, I am announcing that the Environmental Protection Agency is planning to issue an emergency waiver to allow E15 gasoline — gasoline that uses more ethanol from home-grown crops — to be sold across the U.S. this summer in order to increase fuel supply and lower prices.

    Good lord, all this shows is a fundamental misunderstanding of the climate talks. It is especially rich coming from US politicians, who govern in the country that is the largest oil and gas producer in the world.

    This is absolutely grotesque. The company should be put out of business permanently.

    One of the most difficult parts to digest during this 4 years of crime and grotesque behavior, is how little the Congress, or the civil service, or courts could do to stop it. Some serious refining of the system is needed. And yes, vote. Of course, vote.

    For those attending COP (or following the coverage) here are my favorite 10 cliché, platitudes, talking points, and overused, yet meaningless phrases. They have all already been used countless times at COP28. I hope these are useful in navigating the climate genre for you.

    A recent study shows that electricity blackouts can be avoided across the nation — perhaps even during intense weather events — by switching to 100 percent clean and renewable energy, such as solar, wind and water energy. wapo.st/3sTU3rV
