UCC: Brazil Hosts COP30 Climate Talks, with the World in Danger of Breaching 1.5°C

Union of Concerned Scientists (10/28/25 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: Responsible journalism would make clear that climate policy is not a backburner issue, just because many other terrible things are happening. Climate disruption is an active present—not just future—nightmare, intertwined with everything we care about: lives and livelihoods, human rights, health, governance. It’s as much of an “abstract issue” as the hurricane tearing Jamaica and Cuba apart right now.

Rachel Cleetus ([link removed]) is senior policy director with the Climate and Energy ([link removed]) program at the Union of Concerned Scientists. We hear from her about why acknowledging and addressing corporate and government failures doesn’t mean giving up on ourselves and our shared future. But it does require news media locate the fight—not just among dolphins and icebergs—but in the boardrooms of greedy people perversely trying to wring every last dime from our shared inheritance and future.

CEPR: Trumponomics: The Economics of Crazy

Beat the Press (10/27/25 ([link removed]) )

Also on the show: Isn’t Donald Trump a mean, stupid person? OK, sure. Isn’t this whole presidency so silly? No, not at all. Corporate news media’s notion that time-to-time winking about how Trump is weird somehow amounts to meaningful resistance to the myriad harms of his administration is a monumental failure—from which we have to take lessons, not just about the White House, but about the press corps.

We hear from Dean Baker ([link removed]) , senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research ([link removed]) , whose recent piece, "Trumponomics: The Economics of Crazy," appears in his Beat the Press blog on their site CEPR.net ([link removed]) .
