But how exactly might this tour differ from the last tumultuous term? To get a better sense of what is to come — in the Senate confirmation hearings for his controversial Cabinet picks,...

COP29, formally the Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is the 19th edition of the U.N.’s official assembly to discuss how to address the alleged global climate crisis. Around 50,000 people flew in from around...
