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.

Oh such a good joke!!!! Thanks for showing me the twist. I remember the funny safety conversations at tennis matches after a few drops of rain.

"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.
