(NB note - this am, we are featuring two related articles that concern the utter failure to address, mitigate or arrest carbon emissions - and the outrageous and growing influence of ruling class lobbyiests - over environmental policy and priorities.  As with everything, it is all about the class struggle and about funneling social wealth to benefit the few at the expense of the many. Our social interest in having a habitable planet is being subverted and eclipsed by other ruling class priorities)
