This article about the #GreenhouseGas emissions of the super-rich touches on something I stress repeatedly in my work with local authorities.

The carbon footprints of the wealthiest households are much bigger than the poorest…

…and I’m not just talking about the mega-wealthy, I mean even just the moderately rich. But many councils are fearful of being seen to actively help the rich, so they conflate their #climateemergency work with work they are (often already) doing on tackling #FuelPoverty.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying for one minute that councils should abandon efforts to tackle #FuelPoverty. That’s a social ill that should have been dealt with long ago and is a legacy of the UK’s largely crappy housing stock.

Today's week two of the Law In Rural America seminar, and we're discussing the challenges and scope of rural #LocalGovernment. #RuralLaw 1/
Up first, we’re reading a chapter of Lane Lancaster’s Government in Rural America (2d ed. 1952). He predicted that "[i]n another generation it is quite probable that there will be no distinctive subject matter for a book on rural government." (Yikes!) 2/ Image
(Do other law faculty out there know of other textbooks/casebooks that focus specifically on rural law? Maybe @RichSchragger or @lisareneepruitt?) 3/
