Trump hits the gas on emissions, while Cornell turns back the clock

Original version ·

It is officially a day for digging up old files and ignoring new climate realities.

The administration just decided that your future car doesn't actually need to be efficient anymore. It seems burning more gas is the new green, because why bother with pesky fuel economy targets when you can just let those tailpipes roar? It is a bold strategy if the goal is to make the mid-2000s look like a futuristic eco-utopia.

Meanwhile, the legal system at Cornell University is revisiting a frat house nightmare that everyone thought was buried. Prosecutors are taking another crack at a sexual assault case that had previously gone cold. It turns out that some things simply refuse to stay in the past, no matter how hard institutions try to sweep them under the rug.

Justice has a funny way of showing up precisely when it is least convenient.
