The Post editorial board is saying something extremely controversial here—that regulating climate change costs more than doing nothing about it. And it's providing absolutely no supporting evidence for that.

The US is gearing up for genocidal crimes. They backed the genocide in Gaza precisely in order to set a precedent that would allow them to do this themselves.
It is pure, wanton barbarism. Every decent person with any shred of human values must resist this campaign with all their might.

Because remember, the Cubans fought a revolution against a US-backed dictatorship, and they have struggled to survive under US blockade for half a century. They will not surrender their sovereignty easily, they will fight to the bitter end, and the US understands this.

Where they are allowed to, immigrants generally work hard and pay their taxes.
Tax-dodging Jim Ratcliffe, by contrast, used a charity to "fund a £16m luxury clubhouse for an exclusive French Alps club [25k joining fee, annual subs 6k] where he and his daughter have skied for years."

"Despite the obsession with gas-powered vehicles, light and medium-duty cars and trucks combined to generate just 1.8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2022."
Nearly 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions is...a huge amount? Like, that is literally one of the biggest levers possible?
