“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups.

@ai6yr Yeah. Horrible news but good reporting from the NYT, found via @GiftArticles.
@jeridansky @ai6yr @GiftArticles
Now if only NYT gift articles would actually be gifts that you could read. As long as the NYT demands that you register for an account with them, they won't let anyone read any of it. -

“Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”
Transportation is the largest single source of greenhouse gases in the United States.
@jeridansky They just want be more like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Myanmar, Ethiopia, Iran or Uganda.

Sometimes people post links to NYT articles which show the Gift Article words in the preview image, but which aren't actually gift article links. This one was a true gift article.

@claralistensprechen5th You weren't able to read this one without getting prompted to create a login?
I do use an ad blocker, but I don't know if that has any effect on how well true gift article links work.
(True NYT gift links have an unlocked_article_code in the URL.)

@jeridansky @claralistensprechen5th @GiftArticles This one let me through, surprisingly. Usually it blocks me.

@ai6yr Odd! I've never had a problem with true NYT gift links (based on seeing unlocked_article_code in the URL). Lots of posts labeled as though they are gift links actually aren't.
Can you read this one?

@jeridansky Playing on repeat...
We're setting sail
To the place on the map from which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn -

The Tracking Token Disrespector provided a cleaned up link, which I also tried--and got the same result. -

That seems the likely explanation for why the links work for me (and others) and not for you.

And now I really don't know what it is about our situations that makes the NYT require a login for you and not for me.
I see "Transferring data from browser-intake-datadoghq.com..." at the bottom of your screen capture. I don't know what that's about and if it's at all relevant.
