Kevin PeacheyCost of living correspondentGetty ImagesMillions of motorists should be paid compensation next year for the mis-selling of car loans, the UK’s financial regulator has told MPs.The payouts are over commission arrangements between lenders and dealers, and inaccurate information given to car buyers following a ruling by the UK’s highest court.While the Supreme Court decision limited the breadth of these cases, up to 30 million agreements between 2007 and 2020 could be reviewed. Not all of those will be eligible for compensation. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has said a finance redress scheme is yet to begin but it is…

Honorable MentionsPhotograph: Kat MerckShark FlexBreeze HydroGo for $120: I love the original Shark FlexBreeze (above), so I was very excited to see Shark had released a rechargeable portable fan in seven colors, including ones not normally seen in fans like Lilac and Honeydew. Shark says it can run 30 minutes with the mister consistently on or 60 minutes with it in (interval mode?), and after testing it at my son’s soccer practices, I was impressed that these estimates were more or less accurate. However, the mist that comes out of the middle is so fine and in such a small…

Last December I wrote about a hopeful change in airline passengers’ rights in the United States. Unfortunately, since that time, the proposal has been squashed.Domestically, there remains no requirement for airlines to provide compensation (or duty-of-care amenities) to passengers after a flight delay or cancellation.The Department of Transportation only requires an airline to do one of two things during an extended flight delay or cancellation: Move the passenger to the next available flight on their own fleet. Depending on availability, this replacement flight could be hours or even days later. Or, refund the passenger’s ticket, so that they can find their own…

The US currently subsidizes the fossil-fuel industry to the tune of nearly $31bn per year, according to a new analysis.That figure, calculated by the environmental campaign group Oil Change International, has more than doubled since 2017. And it is likely a vast understatement, due to the difficulty of quantifying the financial gains from some government supports, and to a lack of transparency and reliable data from government sources, the group says.These handouts pose a massive barrier to decarbonization, says the new report, which experts have long warned is urgently necessary to avert the worst consequences of the climate crisis.“These subsidies…
