Isn’t climate change a science issue? Shouldn’t musicians just shut up and sing? Scientists and their research have been, and will always be, crucial in raising the alarm on fossil fuels and humanity’s damage to the planet.

China's greenhouse footprint boils down to three factors: its economic growth, energy intensity of that growth, and carbon intensity of that energy
