  • Welcome to the New York Times. They do a lot of good journalism, but have a different person from the one who wrote the article write the headline, precisely to enable this kind of thing.

  • Yes, there is a requirement to buy permits in the carbon market. It applies to large emitters and fuel sellers. It does not cover non-fossil-fuel emissions sources, like some pesticides which are also greenhouse gases, or agricultural methane sources.

  • Forcing companies to buy them creates a financial incentive to not burn stuff. Its effective, but the price you have to make them pay to get rid of all the burning is higher than can be politically supported in the near term.

  • It took U.S. years to lose a war in Vietnam. Trump lost one in days. It's increasingly clear that Trump's war of choice in Iran has failed spectacularly. America learned nothing from past war failures

  • He can read when he wants to. The problem is that Trump has only ever been seen to read one book:

    Last April [Note: article published in 1990] perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

    "Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.

    Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"

    "I don't remember," I said.

    "Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")

    Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

  • The scale of the science cuts doesn't come near to paying for the war or the tax cuts for the rich. The US is borrowing huge amounts of money to cover both. While borrowing money can make sense, particularly when used to pay for research and infrastructure which will ultimately increase economic growth, this is at a scale which actually carries very real economic risks.
