Every good idea they've had has had horribly, monkey's paw style execution. Tariffs, well considered and targeted, could be good. We do want to bring manufacturing of certain things home (like computer chips).
The H1b thing in tech could be good as well. But it needs to not impact the people we've already brought here, and it needs to be reasonably implemented.

From drought to deluge: Report highlights increasingly erratic water cycle
The water cycle has become increasingly erratic and extreme, swinging between deluge and drought, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It highlights the cascading impacts of too much or too little water on economies and society.

This is a ridiculous article. In practical terms, our current government has been slashing as much climate work as it has been able to do.
And Petteri Orpo is anyway a person who never makes any decisions. He always yields to all other ministers in all matters. Funny seeing the photo of him as if he was a person of power. He's very purely a figurehead only.

BP is out. Here’s what’s next for the climate movement at Princeton
Fossil fuel companies have abandoned their deceptive climate pledges, and the Trump administration is cracking down on climate research. As governments and corporations abandon climate action, Princeton must step up as a leader on the issue.The Princetonian
Further, Carbon Mitigation Initiative helped BP legitimize its core business of fossil fuel production. For example, one CMI leader gave recommendations to fossil fuel executives about developing carbon capture technologies — a strategy used by oil companies to delay the transition to renewables — that could “enable the full use of fossil fuels across the energy transition and beyond.” We published a report last year that further detailed the harms this relationship caused.BP’s departure indicates an abdication of environmental action across sectors. Amid global pullback from environmental pledges, the company appears to have reckoned that it does not need to worry about public opposition to inaction on climate change. In the run-up to its separation from the University, the company ditched its renewable energy pledges and doubled down on oil and gas projects, exemplifying a broader “green retreat” taking place across the private sector. The federal government under President Trump has also reversed course on climate action, tearing down renewable energy programs and dismantling climate research — including at Princeton.

How Bill Gates is playing both sides of the climate crisis – video
Think Bill Gates is fixing the climate crisis? Not if you follow the money. While he funds green innovation and talks about cutting emissions, Gates also invests in dirty industries such as coal, oil and private jets. In this episode, Neelam Tailor exposes how one of the world’s most powerful climate voices is betting on both sides of the crisis – and making a lot of money in the process
like this
Both? Both sides? Both sides of the climate crisis? My dudes, nobody gets to go live on the Sun under its protection, not even with all the money. There's one side to the climate crisis, and we're all on it.
Oh, I see. He's making money pretending to invest in green technologies, and he's making money polluting the environment. That's the "both sides" they meant. Except those two industries are still both on the same side of the equation. It's like we're all on the Titanic, and Gates is spreading towels over deck chairs AND sitting at a table by the bar, like "Oh no! A guy with all the money is being greedy and dishonest. What should we do?"
Cops are hella incompetent. Any success they have is almost always because someone talked.
