El presidente Trump ha eliminado de un plumazo una de las medidas más importantes para la reducción de la pobreza que habría sido promulgada en esta década. 

La vision des inégalités diffusée par Oxfam est caricaturale. En fait, les inégalités diminuent. par Bjorn Lomborg, Copenhaguen Consensus Center

Aujourd'hui, on observe une impression générale - et fausse - que l'inégalité gagne inexorablement du terrain dans le monde. Oxfam a récemment contribué à jeter la confusion dans l'esprit déclarant que la richesse des huit personnes les plus fortunées du monde équivaut à celle de la moitié de la population mondiale.

Everyone – from elected officials and bureaucrats to voters and taxpayers – can learn from the world’s largest charitable foundation about effective development spending. And these lessons are particularly relevant at a time when 56% of Europeans believe their governments should focus solely on domestic issues and let recipient countries deal with problems as best they can (opposition to aid is even higher in France, Poland, Italy, Hungary, and Greece).

NYKYISIN on vallalla virheellinen käsitys, jonka mukaan eriarvoisuus lisääntyy vääjäämättä. Kansalaisjärjestö Oxfam ruokki tätä väärinkäsitystä tammikuussa julkistetussa raportissaan väittämällä, että kahdeksalla maailman varakkaimmalla ihmisellä on yhtä paljon omaisuutta kuin puolella koko maailman väestöstä.

Oxfam mittaa nettovarallisuutta, ei tuloja. Järjestön laskelmiin sisältyy niin sanottu negatiivinen omaisuus, kuten opintolaina ja asunto-omaisuuteen sidottu pääoma.

Mesmo os activistas do clima cada vez mais reconhecem que a retórica sobre o acordo mundial para reduzir as emissões dos gases de efeito de estufa, concluído em Paris há um ano, não vai ao encontro das actuais promessas que dizem respeito às temperaturas. Isto deveria levar-nos a pensar em soluções alternativas e inteligentes. Mas tal alternativa, a geoengenharia, é uma solução que muitas pessoas recusam.
 

Det är en i dag vanligt förekommande - och felaktig – uppfattning att ojämlikheten ökar obevekligt. Oxfam har nyligen bidragit till detta missförstånd genom att hävda att världens åtta rikaste personer äger lika mycket som hälften av jordens befolkning.

En global handelsaftale for hele planeten ville reducere antallet af mennesker, der lever i fattigdom, med 145 millioner på 15 år 

Med et pennestrøg har Præsident Trump udslettet et af de vigtigste tiltag for reduktion af fattigdommen, der ville...

Excitement crackled through the environmental movement when China’s National Energy Administration announced last month that the country will spend at least $360 billion on green energy through 2020. Green elites are now toasting the communist country: While President Trump threatens to end costly climate policies, Chinese President Xi Jinping promises his nation will continue to fight climate change.

We constantly hear how solar and wind energy is already cheaper than fossil fuels. A few months ago, Bloomberg Business declared that “wind power is now the cheapest electricity to produce in both Germany and the U.K., even without government subsidies.”

If renewable energy is cheaper than dirty fossil fuels, why isn’t everyone adopting them? Are we so irrationally addicted to polluting energy sources that we won’t even embrace cheaper and cleaner alternatives?

With a stroke of the pen, President Trump has eliminated one of the most significant poverty-reduction measures that would have been enacted this decade. 

Negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership took half a decade and covered 40 percent of the world’s economy. While the agreement was already on death row thanks to a lack of support from Congress, President Trump’s executive order withdrawing US involvement sends a clarion signal about his administration’s outlook on trade.
