Judge says Trump 'engaged in an insurrection' before making a curious ruling

Accelerating Latin America's clean-energy revolution

BONN - The world stands at a critical juncture in the fight against climate change. Either we drastically accelerate the clean-energy transition, or our fast-dwindling chances of preventing global temperatures from surpassing 1.5 degrees Celcius above pre-industrial levels will be destroyed.
