Bipartisan Consensus Is Key—but Depends on U.S. Control of Supply Chains.
The tariffs’ full effects on U.S. emissions won’t be clear for years, but what’s certain is that China will respond.

The capitalist pursuit of growth at all costs is one reason the planet is overheating. But it’s also possible, argues Akshat Rathi, to harness the forces of capitalism to tackle the climate crisis.
