The collapse of 'big steel' should be a warning for climate skeptics

© Getty Images For most of the last century, America was the king of steel. In 1900, the United States was the leading steel producer of the world. By the middle of the 20 th century, the United States was producing roughly half of the world’s supply. At the time, the U.S. steel industry employed up to 650,000 workers, with pay significantly above the national average wage. The U.S. dominance of the global steel industry contributed to the allied victory in two world wars. Steel was the symbol of American military strength and economic power. But by the late 1970s, the steel industry was under assault by rising economic powers. Fueled by low-cost labor and raw materials, government subsidies and investments in new technology, foreign producers rapidly gained market share. Yet, the U.S. government chose not to act on clear-eyed assessments of the need to invest in modernizing the American steel industry, opting for a

Have Biden and the Democrats already hit their high water mark?

It also may be the Democrats domestic high water mark. All the more important that the president went big (I wrongly thought perhaps a little too big), heard out Republicans who weren t interested in what was needed, and with skillful congressional leaders kept remarkable unity within the disparate Democratic caucuses; it was backed by the ultra-liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ADVERTISEMENT The $1.9 trillion measure will get the country back sooner to near normal, after the pandemic scourge, expedite school openings and accelerate an economic boom in the second half of this year. It will ease the sufferings of those millions still out of work, take 13 million out of poverty, and could cut child poverty in half.

Fossil fuel pollution is killing people in the US and abroad

© Getty Images That’s the chilling conclusion reached by a new peer-reviewed study from Harvard University and University College London. Researchers found that more than 8.7 million people around the world died from exposure to particulate matter from fossil fuel emissions in 2018. The findings bring new understanding and urgency to the immediate global health threat caused by climate change and our world’s continued reliance on high-polluting fossil fuels. For the Biden administration and policymakers worldwide, it must be a wakeup call. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels isn’t just about protecting future generations from looming threats and projections it’s about saving lives right now. Our actions both domestic and internationally must reflect that urgency.

The Biden era of climate-aware forest policy

One of the most egregious acts of the previous administration’s public lands agenda was the October decision to revoke protections for 9 million acres of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, one of the world’s largest intact temperate rainforests. On his first day in office, President Joe Biden The Roadless Rule is one of America’s hallmark conservation policies and safeguards pristine and near-pristine forests in 40 states, from Alaska to New Mexico. These are areas with remarkable ecological value that could be quickly degraded by development, including the construction of roads. This historic policy celebrated its 20th anniversary in January.
