In 2020, “it looked like corporate America would weigh carbon emissions alongside profits,” @StevenMufson and @thamburger write. But now “the forces arrayed against ESG say they are just getting started”: https://t.co/71GgilDD1Z
Not long ago, a consensus was emerging that markets could help save the planet. Now that consensus is crumbling. @StevenMufson + @thamburger reveal how a Leonard Leo-funded group scared corporate America into backtracking on the climate.

The nominee for NASA head has taken an unusual route: working in parents' basement, building multi-billion $$ business, learning to fly fighter jets, & 2 trips to space. With staff cuts at NASA, is Jared Isaacman ready for what's next? @StevenMufson https://t.co/P0NkNOnGlj
This @StevenMufson piece in @CJR about the history of @washingtonpost endorsements is worth a read. I learned a few things about The Post's early years - and imagine you will too: https://t.co/Vv34PuasgC
Helpful background in this piece from last year by @StevenMufson, who reports that DOGE co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy wants a war on ‘wokeism' and views global warming as "not entirely bad." https://t.co/Iot9GIFFIQ
A Rising Fortress on Sinking Land: How a massive steel wall could have trouble protecting a new, expensive Louisiana LNG export plant from rising sea levels and subsiding wetlands

1/ Our next installment in The Drowning South has published! @StevenMufson and Ricky Carioti traveled to Louisana's Plaquemines Parish to capture how a huge LNG exporter has its own #climate plan -- a massive seawall to protect its assets https://t.co/wx5YodmZRC
Really good piece on the seawall fortress rising around a low-lying gas facility in Louisiana. The company says it’s fine but scientists @StevenMufson talked to said it’s a huge and growing risk to neighbors still reeling from the last big hurricane.

Great reporting. Fortress America: building $20 billion gas plants near dangerous rising seas. “…they’re having to armor these facilities at considerable expense to guard against extreme weather that is their own doing” @StevenMufson @ewashingtonpost https://t.co/bQ2tGsjpWk
This segment was a labor of love and a topic very close to my heart. I am so grateful to all the people who shared their experiences with me and to my colleagues who helped make it happen
