       @interfluidity I was re-reading this paper today and LOLed at the section about the WTO. And the paper is only 5 years old!"The tension between national autonomy to pursue industrial policy to address climate change and the previously agreed-to measures at the WTO could of course be renegotiated, but this would put in play core tenets of the LIO, such as the WTO's national treatment principle." :lolsob: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-organization/article/asset-revaluation-and-the-existential-politics-of-climate-change/0963988860A37F6988E73738EA93E0A1
