Ever wonder why wearing masks is so common in #Japan every spring? A post-WWII reforestation policy to plant just two types of fast-growing trees has triggered a mass-allergy crisis. My latest for @bbc looks at the roots of this 70-year-old blunder and the massive challenge of fixing it […]

What an argument. #China, which produces solar panels partly through exploitation of #Uyghurs and their homeland's natural resources, can somehow support the #green transition in a region where #Indonesia is exploiting #Papuans and their resources.
