  1. Summary
    On Wednesday Attorney General Merrick Garland was questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee at an oversight hearing. Garland assured the panel that an investigation into President Biden's son, currently led by a Trump appointee, is operating independently. He also touched on issues of bipartisan interest, like the department's work addressing fentanyl deaths.

    GOP senators asked Garland why there are more federal prosecutions of attacks on abortion clinics than of attacks on pregnancy centers. Garland acknowledged a disparity, but said it is not intentional. He said anti-abortion threats happen "during the daylight" and in view of cameras, but threats to pregnancy centers, while "horrid," happen in the dark.

    GOP Senators also pressed Garland on why the department has not prosecuted those who protested outside Supreme Court justices' homes and argued the Justice Department failed to provide enough security to Justices. Garland argued he took the unusual step of deploying 70 members of the Marshals Service to protect the justices.

Should governments encourage research into solar geoengineering?

248 votes, 28 comments

Context: UN body calls for research into hypothetical technology that could potentially reduce global warming.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ Yes - This technology could be a low-cost ($10 billion per year) way to arrest temperature increases around the world until carbon capture and reliable alternative energy technologies mature. Carbon reduction will still likely be needed (e.g., to arrest ocean acidification), but if we don’t start looking at geoengineering in a collaborative way, individual countries will start doing their own thing, with possibly negative consequences.”


“ No - Solar geoengineering is a pipe dream. There is no practical way of governing such a system, which would span multiple countries...”



“ Unsure - I want to say yes, because it wouldn't hurt at all to have a backup...”
