Welcome to the American petrostate
I’ve long said that the obstacles to stabilizing warming below catastrophic levels aren’t physical or technological; they are entirely political in nature, and political obstacles can be overcome. But...

If it was because of narcotrafficking, why has Trump pardoned narcotraffickers? If it was because Maduro is an authoritarian (he is), why is Trump in love with Putin, nevermind Kim Jong-Un and Viktor Orban?

Oil, conflict, and climate change – there is a direct connection.
The real kicker here is that if US companies do succeed in ramping up Venezuela’s oil, it’s some of the dirtiest and most carbon intensive in the world. And it’s cheap to produce (PdVSA says $5/barrel, probably closer to $25).

When I decided to become a climate scientist, I thought I’d only need do it for a decade or so – because it was so obviously urgent, surely we would fix it by then? And then I would go back to studying galaxies.

This is the Viktor Orban model of creating an illiberal democracy, although Trump wants to go even further than Orban. He's shooting for Putin's Russia.
As it happens, I have experience with high-level government demands to stop an explosive, accurate story from running, and I also have experience with 60 Minutes spiking a story I was involved in, so I have thoughts about the travesty at CBS. If you want some journalism anecdotes, here are a lot:
