Co-opted by Capitalism

Earth Day’s fiftieth anniversary, which fell on April 22, marked a strange celebration for climate-change deniers. Breitbart News, the notorious mouthpiece of the alt-right, published an article that day under the headline “Michael Moore–backed ‘Planet of the Humans’ Takes Apart the Left’s Green Energy Scams.” The following day James Delingpole, who once wrote in The Telegraph that “it would be nice to think one day that there would be a Climate Nuremberg” for any and all “who talked up the global warming scare,” tweeted that Moore was his “new hero.” Marc Morano, who runs the denialist website ClimateDepot.org, deemed the film a “tour de force” in an interview with the Canadian far-right outfit Rebel News.

Keystone XL Is Dead. Now What?

In his first day in the Oval Office, President Joe Biden did much to undo his predecessor's atrocious legacy on climate-change, rejoining the (inadequate) Paris Agreement on behalf of the U.S., reinstating over 100 environmental policies weakened or wasted under Trump — and revoking president
