Global warming, or climate change, is an increase in the earth’s atmospheric temperature since the late nineteenth century. In politics the debate over global warming is centered on whether this increase in temperature is due to greenhouse gas emissions or is the result of a natural pattern in the earth’s temperature. In 2022 Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act which included hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies for investing in renewable-energy projects and producing energy from renewable sources. The bill also included credits to help factories retool to turn…

Unions, manufacturing groups and some economists say the administration may need to do much more to restrict Chinese imports if it hopes to ensure that Mr. Biden’s vast industrial initiatives are not swamped by lower-cost Chinese versions of the same emerging technologies.“It is a very clear and present danger, because the industrial policy of the Biden administration is largely focused on not the traditional low-skill, low-wage manufacturing, but new, high-tech manufacturing,” said Eswar Prasad, a Cornell University economist who specializes in trade policies.“Those are precisely the areas where China has upped its own investments,” he said.Both America and China are using large government subsidies to stoke economic growth and try to dominate what they believe will be the most important global markets of this century: the technologies meant to speed a global transition away from fossil fuels in order to avert catastrophic climate change. Chinese officials have poured money into factories, including offering attractive loans from state-run banks to companies that might not have survived otherwise, to help offset a real estate crisis and sluggish domestic consumption. Those factories often run on low-cost labor.Biden has conditioned federal money on companies paying relatively high wages or providing child care for workers. Other credits are conditioned on factories drawing on components that are mined or produced in America. Mr. Biden has staked his re-election pitch on creating more well-paying jobs, particularly union jobs, but some economists have raised concerns that those efforts to change corporate behavior will undermine his core industrial-policy objectives.“On the one hand the Biden administration is doing everything it can to increase consumption of renewable energy products,” said Scott Lincicome, a trade expert at the Cato Institute, a libertarian research center. “On the other hand, it is warning China against the sale of cheap renewable energy products, which would boost American consumption of the very products we’re trying to encourage.”

Once vibrant corals turning bone white highlights something scientists have been saying for years: the oceans are heating up dangerously.This week, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a global coral bleaching event. Too much heat is the main cause of coral bleaching — and there are more worrying signs as the latest ocean-surface readings show temperatures are on the rise.“This is big,” said John Abraham, professor of thermal sciences at the University of St. Thomas. People are realizing just “how important the oceans are as the measurement metric for climate change.”Every day, for more than a year — barring a tiny blip last spring — the global average sea-surface temperature has been at a record seasonal high in data that go back to 1979. And those historical records haven’t just been narrowly surpassed, they’ve been obliterated.Hotter oceans matter for all sorts of reasons beyond their impact on coral reefs. They exacerbate sea-level rise as warmer water expands. They restrict the supply of oxygen to marine life and are pushing fish toward the earth’s poles or deeper waters. They’ve been linked to the rise of marine bacteria called Vibrio, which can cause vibriosis in humans, bringing symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and, in some cases, it can kill. And last year, high sea-surface temperatures helped push scientists to raise their forecast for Atlantic hurricanes.

Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022, which allocated millions to combating climate change and other energy provisions while additionally establishing a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles. To qualify for the subsidy 40% of the critical minerals used in electric-vehicle…

Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry.…
