The Economist is a superb newspaper. They are clear about their liberal position and their free market economic position.
They also are willing to do journalism that others dont bother with. This is a great article - its not about wether its right or wrong, its about what is going to happen and how it will affect the world.

lmao. There’s nothing “clear” about openly advocating for a dangerous pseudo-scientific ideology. It’s just the Epoch Times for libs and fash.
its about what is going to happen
Yes, these nostradamuses are pushing Stage 4 and Stage 5 climate denialism
I had no idea that the Arctic could be 100% ice free by 2030.
Further demonstrating that the pseudo-science of “economics” is just crypto-fascism.
I wouldn’t go so far as Economics being pseudoscience, it’s obviously not as foundational as math or physics, i.e. it builds on top of math and social sciences.
Also you should definitely differ between political/macro economics and business economics.
Former I would certainly put into the science category, and there are a lot of scientists that advocate towards radical changes in politics because of climate change. Latter is certainly debatable and certainly less “sciency”…
Karl Marx and Keynes were also economists… That is a broad scientific/philosphical field we are talking about. But there are many opportunists and demagogues in that field.
I used to work in science in hydrology and did read a lot of papers from macroeconomists (they use similar apporaches). There are defintly serious scientists in macroecomics. Tbf, I have my doubts when it comes to business economics.
Take the land and boil the sea, but you can’t take the sky from me 🎵
I wonder how long it’ll be before they’ll start selling bottled purified air, or something. I could even envision metered filters as a mandatory installation for every enclosed space.
Didn’t work. Put something in the brackets.
(Crud, now it doesn’t appear as a link.)
What client are you using?
For me, it shows up as an embedded video (with video player controls) when using the default web UI and shows up as a looping image (without video player controls) when using Voyager. Both the version in my comment and the one in yours display the same, in both cases.
(Side note: I usually like to paste the image data into the comment rather than a URL to it so that a copy gets uploaded to the Lemmy server and doesn’t depend on third-party image hosts, but whenever I try that with an animated gif it becomes a still image. 🙁 )
Good news! They already do! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-vitality-air-sales-update-bottled-air-1.5073762
They already do in places like Colorado. Not air but bottled oxygen for tourists not used to the lack thereof.
To be fair it’s oxygen and not air and designed for people who come from sea level, but yeah.
Also I can’t say I wouldn’t take them up on that. When I was a teenager I went to summit county on a snowboard trip and coming from sea level…. Despite being an athlete… I was winded just going up a flight of stairs. But your body adjusts after a day or two as long as you hydrate and don’t drink alcohol.
Been a thing for a while now, you haven’t heard?
