COMMENTARY: Bangladesh's coal turn is a fresh bad sign for LNG exporters
Bangladesh should be one of the global LNG industry's success stories, but instead it is a warning sign.

The US EPA everyone! Emissions from power generation accounts for 25% to 30% of US GHG emissions. Models show that greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change. And, if all 'carbon dioxides' were indeed eliminated tomorrow, the Earth would rapidly turn into a snowball. www.epa.gov/newsreleases...

While erasing any limit to planet-heating pollution from power plants, Donald Trump's EPA made two bold claims - that this will lower Americans' energy bills and the pollution doesn't even matter anyway. The EPA's own documents tell a very different story www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump EPA’s arguments for letting power plants spew unlimited pollution ‘dead wrong’
Claims that dismantling pollution rules will lower energy bills and have little climate impact are far from convincing

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.
