Having focused exclusively on translation these last few years, I'm trying on my writing hat again, see if it still fits. Here's one I wrote for Silicon Republic. www.siliconrepublic.com/innovation/s...

The Paris Climate Agreement, Donald Trump, & his Quixotic Crusade to Turn Back Time - HeadStuff Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement could have unintended positive results, but what does the announcement say about his administration?

In light of Trump's renewed efforts to resurrect the coal industry, here's an article I wrote when he tried to do the same in his first term.

Trump's Gaza proposal is being reported as a new idea but the removal of Palestinians from their land has been the aim since 1948. No doubt the 'international territory' created on the Gaza strip would end up in Israeli hands. Then all that would remain is to find a pretext to cleanse the West Bank.
