Excerpt: President Donald Trump is escalating his fight against a global carbon tax — in a move that could tank a major effort to curb a persistent source of planet-warming pollution.

The State Department is drafting a diplomatic memo advising countries against adopting a carbon tax on shipping pollution, along with a broader climate initiative called the Net-Zero Framework, writes Sara Schonhardt.
