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

[Griff Witte @griffwitte]

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.

Who is Jared Isaacman? @StevenMufson takes a closer look at Trump's man at NASA.

[Steven Mufson @StevenMufson]

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

[Juliet Eilperin @eilperin]

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

[Alexander C. Kaufman @AlexCKaufman]

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.

[Rocky Kistner @therockyfiles]

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

It's hard to imagine having to wait for emergency assistance while one of these long trains are blocking the way. A good look here:
