Som airlines are letting you buy like carbon offsets or something to fill in the loyalty gaps rather than mileage runs. Does AA offer that?

Carbon offsets give big polluters a get-out-of-jail-free card on climate change. And although there are *some* high-quality offsets out there, there's a helluva lotta junk.
I made a deep-dive video on the wild west of offsetting. Took me bloody ages so check it out pls 😅

We can spend $50billion towards really addressing climate change or $50trillion.

We'll see, but I don't think the apparent TACO on Greenland will last long. It's just another case of "last person he talked to," and that won't be the Europeans once he's back at the West Wing / Mar-a-Lago. For their own anti-NATO reasons, too many in the inner circle are determined to push this.

Parker is quite empathetic & gentle in the piece.
Not me. I find the passivity discussed in the piece *utterly damning* -- of US institutions, US leaders, and the US people.
Non one wants to just say it, but Trump has exposed this country as hollow, callow, spoiled, & ignorant.

We are raising a generation of children who are being traumatized by the state, and some of them will grow up angry because their parents were ripped away by force.

What does Secretary Rollins think American families should eat for dinner?
"...a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing."
My family ate like this in Soviet Ukraine. This isn't the American way.

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Climate policy talks a lot about pricing emissions.
The Global Carbon Reward (I'm a volunteer - AMA) flips the script:
price climate repair - in addition
(caution, climate finance wonkery ahead)
It rewards verified carbon removal, reductions, and avoidance as a public-good service—not offsets.
