Sanders: *The pandemic is helping the rich get even richer. It's time to tax their obscene wealth.*
Global heating is and other diseases spread by ticks.
*[Covid-19 is expected] to displace more than a million across the Sahel, new tool predicts.*
*'As the tundra burns, we cannot afford climate silence': a letter from the Arctic.*
The article treats withdrawing from the Paris treaty as if it were a real and enormous act of climate sabotage. To be sure, the wrecker is committing large real acts of sabotage also, but this is only symbolic sabotage. The Paris climate treaty specified an insufficient goal, its signatories did not pledge enough to reach that goal,and most of them are doing much less than what they pledged.
Pulling out of the Paris treaty is only a demonstration of bad faith.
*Progressives are pointing to Susan Rice's past fossil fuel investments — including stock in the company behind the Keystone XL Pipeline — and her hawkish foreign policy as reasons to disqualify her from the running.*
