"Applications of technology that are friendly to the Administration are going unchallenged, in part because tech companies have become increasingly willing to support Trump's whims...

Only tools that exist independent of Big Tech seem like safe bets for dissent."

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO.

This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting.

"Mitigating climate change requires ending the burning of fossil fuels. Offsets distract from this crucial task." See Andrew MacIntosh, CSSN Scholar Gregory Trencher et. al.'s recent commentary in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/d41....

Carbon credits are failing to help with climate change — here’s why

The idea that emissions can be offset through projects that claim to avoid releases or to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is fatally flawed.
