The Post (me and @kcrowebasspro.bsky.social) analyzed the social media posts and appearances of prominent politicians across the country.
We found that no one is talking about climate change anymore. In 2025, mentions are 60% lower than in 2024.

I do think the evidence is quite clear that public country-by-country reporting would raise more revenue than private. And the US (then under Obama) agitated for the latter back in ‘13-‘15.
