A research project is trying to breed corals that can cope with heat and acidity.

If the project is successful, it might preserve a few of the hundreds of species of corals. It's better than nothing, but it would be far better to curb our CO2 emissions.

Scientists warned President Johnson about global heating in 1965.

A tax on flying could raise a lot of money for dealing with global heating.

But we would be fools to spend it on "adapting" when we could instead spend it on curbing the problem itself.

Curbing global heating is a very profitable investment. The US should go in a lot more.

The UK's snooping bill offers "protections" with loopholes so big that they are hardly meaningful.

The bill is deceptive , presenting so-called safeguards that are not what they appear to be.

A US special forces team in Afghanistan seems to have tortured dozens of prisoners and killed 17 of them.
