Trump Isn’t Helping Out the Auto Industry. He’s Helping to Tank It. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As gas prices continue to soar amid a seemingly endless war in Iran, the Trump administration is finally delivering relief to drivers burdened by high gas and record diesel prices: letting automakers keep making cars that use lots of gas. On Monday, the White House announced that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had finalized plans to roll back Biden-era corporate average fuel economy, or CAFE, standards. Previously, automakers were expected to achieve a fleet-wide fuel economy
The Big Greedy Data Center Next Door (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2021, Andrew and Stevi Groetsch started building a modern ranch-style home across from a peaceful stretch of farms in Vineland, New Jersey. One night a few years later, in September 2025, Andrew was reading their daughter a bedtime story when he noticed the windows in her room vibrating with a loud, mechanical hum. He heard the same “wailing” sound while walking their floppy-eared Hungarian pointer at dawn. “We’d just spent a bunch of money to build a house,” Andrew told me in the family’s sp
Carbon Capture Won’t Save Us Anytime Soon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new report from the U.N. Environment Program concludes that global average temperatures will soon be 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than they were in preindustrial times. The need to keep warming at or below that threshold has animated climate activists worldwide for nearly two decades, and that ambition was inscribed into the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015. Within just a few years we’ll blow right past it, or, in more technical language, “overshoot.” Without significant

Read excerpt
Labor Day is around the corner in the United States, and it’s worth taking stock of what has been, by any objective measure, a chaotic summer. In Nepal, at least 1,010 people have been confirmed dead, so far, after a catastrophic rock landslide on the Langtang Lirung peak brought a glacier down with it; some 4,400 people are still missing. In the Grand Canyon, two people died in recent days as a result of flash flooding. In Indiana, at least five people died amid severe storms and the worst floo
The Strait of Hormuz Isn’t the Only Major Shipping Route in Crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Policymakers and economists have long treated climate change as a crisis whose costs would mainly accrue to future generations. Unfortunately, that future is here. As the world frets over the consequences of the Iran war on everything from the cost of goods to the food supply, a separate phenomenon is also choking maritime traffic—and will continue to snarl supply chains long after the Strait of Hormuz reopens. Water levels in Germany’s Rhine River—one of Europe’s busiest shipping routes—have be
