Trump Has a New Definition of Human Rights
The Trump administration has made U.S. human-rights reports favorably evaluate countries the president likes, @anneapplebaum writes. Now the State Department portrays “Germany as more oppressive than El Salvador”:

UK rejects total ban on bottom trawling in offshore marine protected areas
The U.K. government has rejected calls to fully ban bottom trawling in its offshore marine protected areas, despite evidence that the fishing practice tears up seabed habitats and releases large amounts of carbon. Bottom trawling involves dragging weighted nets across the seafloor, often crushing coral reefs and sponges while stirring up sediments. The huge nets […]

A pollution paradox: Wildfires in the western United States may improve air quality
Climate change is driving more frequent and more intense wildfires around the world, including in the United States. These huge blazes cause a range of problems that affect health, the environment, property and the economy. However, a new study reveals a surprising paradox: the heat from wildfires in the western U.S. may actually improve air quality in the eastern part of the country.

Okay, _this_ is funny.

USTA asks broadcasters to censor reaction to Donald Trump’s attendance at U.S. Open
Trump will attend the U.S. Open final as a guest of a sponsor, marking his first appearance since 2015.

This would require elections officials to verify the citizenship of all 3.6 million registered Wisconsin voters before February. Hopefully the appeal is successful.
"Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Maxwell's ruling requires the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to "evaluate the current voter rolls" and see whether any non-U.S. citizens are registered."

If all of bordering states followed illegal orders from potus to invade Chicago, it’d be:
~45,000 invaders vs. ~32,000 defenders.

Plus, it would take more than 53,000 soldiers to even begin to think one could hold Chicago (population ~2.6 million).

Federal lands—which make up about 640 million acres, or 28%, of U.S. soil—are used for many purposes, including conservation, recreation, and extraction of resources such as coal. Greenhouse gas emissions are released throughout the life cycle of coal use, including during its mining, transport, and combustion.
