    The True Cost of Beef (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Until recently, beef was considered aggressively normal. In 1992, after all, when the National Live Stock and Meat Board launched an advertising campaign, the slogan it chose was “Beef: It’s What for Dinner,” which is a bit like the Council of Fashion Designers of America proclaiming, “Clothes: They Cover Your Body,” or the National Association of Home Builders announcing, “Roofs: They’re What Keeps Rain from Falling on You While You Sleep.” All of a sudden, though, this particular protein is a

    Adam Hamilton and Taking Back Religion from the Right (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As a longtime Methodist, I can attest that—at least from a distance—it is not the most dramatic of the world’s religious operations. Very little incense, not much speaking in tongues, and sulfur and brimstone are barely in evidence. There are bishops, but they don’t get special hats. Methodist Central Hall, in London, has a magnificent organ, for playing the great Wesleyan hymns (“Love Divine, All Loves Excelling”; “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus”), but the contrast between its sternness and the

    Trump Is Losing the Great Electric-Vehicle Race (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Australia plays a number of interesting roles in the world, and one of them is as part of what scientists call a “natural experiment,” in which significant forces can be observed at work outside a laboratory. The nation occupies its own prosperous if smallish continent, linked to Asia by geography and to Europe and the West by history and language, and over time it has shown a certain amount of ideological flexibility. That flexibility is not always wholly admirable: even as Australia has co

    A Radical Proposal for the Democrats in 2028 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s an odd moment for the Democratic Party—and thus for those Americans who, stuck in a two-party system, are depending on it for a route out of the mess that is now Washington. New polling shows that the Democrats are ahead on the midterm “generic ballot,” and stand to do at least as well in the House of Representatives as they did in 2018, when they won back control of that chamber, gaining a net total of forty-one seats. (They need to be doing well, since partisan redistricting seems likely

    An Inconvenient Moment for an Extreme Global Heat Wave (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Trump Administration has cut much of the funding for the National Weather Service, which is now launching only about half as many weather balloons each morning as it used to. The result, meteorologists say, has been a degradation in our ability to forecast severe weather—late last month in Boulder, as smoke from the wildfire that killed three firefighters on the Colorado-Utah border hung in the air, I spoke with Daniel Swain, one of the country’s foremost researchers on the effects of climat
