The White House’s Two-Faced Climate Rhetoric
Look at just about any White House event, and you’re likely to see a reference to a specific number: 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), a goal in line with meeting the Paris Agreement’s ambition to limit warming to “well below” two degrees Celsius. A fact sheet on America’s partnership with climate-vulnerable Pacific Islands this week noted that the U.S. “will continue to work with the Pacific Islands to enhance global ambition to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.”

They taunted writers with anonymous threats about an admittedly “evil” scheme to impoverish us and drive us from our homes (a plot point so outlandish, the writers would have scrapped it). They bragged about all the cash they would save, as entertainment companies, by no longer making entertainment

Will Mainers Take Their Power Into Their Own Hands?
While we may grumble about our electric bill, most of us take the idea of paying the costs of electricity to a specific power company each month as a given. But what if you could fire the utilities that are responsible for keeping your lights on if they do a bad job—or if they aren’t prioritizing climate change? In November, Mainers will vote on a ballot initiative that could substantially change who controls their power—literally. If a majority of Mainers vote “yes” on Question 3, they would be
