I'll note that their definition of harms includes a lot of things besides just greenhouse gas emissions and climate impact. Full paper here

They're pretty transparently using this to get funding for what are basically run as PR moves, rather than a serious attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions — that entails leaving more than half the proved reserves of oil in the ground.

My guess is that they figured out that Hezbollah was ordering new encrypted pagers for their members, and modified the devices to include explosives and a mechanism to remotely detonate them.

It's pretty well documented that the transferrable renewable energy credits don't result in the construction of additional renewables. That lack of additionality means that they're not effective at causing decarbonization.

More that a lot of the particulate air pollution that's a byproduct of burning fossil fuels kills people. So when you avoid combustion, you save lives, even if you haven't gotten the use of fossil fuels down to zero yet.

The current position of the NYPD is that some random black guy wandering past a crime scene after the cops shot up a crowd decided to steal the knife that the cops considered to be key evidence. This is, to put it mildly, somewhat less credible than the claim that a crow tried to steal a murder weapon.

What I think actually got it into the 2020 election news coverage was that people figured out when and where high-dollar fundraisers would be, and showed up outside them to ask the candidates about climate as they entered or exited.

It's not even his political opponents doing it; just people who are wildly unstable who think they can attain fame by shooting him as a result of Trump's own long history of implicitly promoting violence.
