In the Trump White House, the momentum has turned against the Paris climate agreement
Foes of the United States remaining in the Paris climate agreement have gained the upper hand in the ongoing White House debate over whether to pull out, according to participants in the discussions and those briefed on the deliberations.
The EPA climate website taken down for review was accurate, scientists say
The EPA's climate change website dates back to the 1990s.
 
‘I can’t lose my house': Outrage after Flint sends foreclosure warnings over tainted-water bills
Warning letters were mailed to 8,002 residents in April, according to the city, a few weeks after state officials ended a program that was paying the majority of their water bills.
 
Environmental groups sue Trump administration over offshore drilling
The lawsuit calls the president's recent executive order unlawful and potentially devastating to the environment.

Scientists just debunked one of the biggest arguments against fuel economy standards for cars
Critics have charged that fuel economy standards increase traffic fatalities. A new economic study finds otherwise.
 
Louisiana’s coast was already sickly. Now it’s being hit by a plague.
Louisiana's coast was already eroding much too fast. Now invasive insects are making it disappear even faster.
 
A new crack in one of Antarctica’s biggest ice shelves could mean a major break is near
The Larsen C ice shelf just moved a step closer to losing a huge chunk of ice.
 
Trump puts critic of renewable energy in charge of renewable energy office
Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's primary mission is to foster the development of renewable and energy-efficient technologies.
 
As Trump reverses climate actions, California considers a bold new step
The state is considering an even more ambitious proposal to put a price on carbon.
 
 
‘It can't just be a march. It has to be a movement.’ What’s next for climate activists?
Tens of thousands of demonstrators descended on Washington to demand climate action. But activists also plan to fight the Trump administration's policies in the courts and at the ballot box.
 
The best signs from the People’s Climate March
As many signs pointed out: There is no Planet B.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Friday evening its website would be "undergoing changes" to better represent the new direction the agency is taking, triggering the removal of several agency websites containing detailed climate data and scientific information.

Court freezes Clean Power Plan lawsuit, signaling likely end to Obama's signature climate policy
President Trump has instructed the EPA to rewrite rules limiting carbon from power plants, and ordered the attorney general to ask a federal court to suspend litigation.
 
Thousands to gather in sweltering heat for Saturday’s climate march
The heat on Saturday could break a record in Washington, D.C. as people around the world demonstrate for climate action.
 
Trump signs executive order to expand drilling off America’s coasts: 'We're opening it up.'
The measure will make millions of acres of federal waters eligible for oil and gas leasing, just four months after President Barack Obama withdrew these areas from possible development.
 
The artist who makes giant protest signs of famous women is back for the Climate March
Ingrid Crepeau's art has floated over the Women's March, Science March and now Climate March. "I call it the Big Head project because it implies that they're smart and important," she said.
