OPINION | Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas may have been released from the hospital this week with a clean bill of health, but he was immediately met by a chorus of pundits and professors in a media frenzy calling for Thomas’s recusal from an array of cases. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) even called for Thomas to be impeached; others, like MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan, echoed that call.

OPINION | A recent UN report described the climate emergency: punishing climate impacts today and existential risks ahead. In the words of the UN Secretary-General António Guterres, the report is an “atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership,” warning that far worse is coming, including a series of irreversible and potentially catastrophic tipping points as we pass the 1.5 degrees Celsius guardrail for global warming set up by the Paris Agreement. This “fat tail” risk should scare all of us, including investors.
