Energy and Environment
With Chris Mooney
 
 
Scientists just published an entire study refuting Scott Pruitt on climate change
Pruitt wrote that satellite data show a 'leveling off of warming.' Scientists say that's not true.
So much water pulsed through a melting glacier that it warped the Earth’s crust
In melting Greenland, scientists detect a pulse of water and ice the size of 18,000 Empire State Buildings.
 
Industry group tries to drop out of children’s climate lawsuit
The government's failure to end climate change violates children's constitutional rights, a lawsuit argues.
 
Trump proposes sharp cuts at Interior Department while pushing for more drilling on public lands
The proposed budget puts an emphasis on expanded drilling on public lands while providing funds to chip away at a maintenance backlog at national parks.

Trump plans a 69 percent budget cut, large staff reductions at clean energy office
The earlier reports were true — the government's top clean energy office is set to be cut dramatically.
 
EPA remains top target with Trump administration proposing 31 percent budget cut
The White House isn't backing down from its earlier proposal to slash funding for many EPA programs.
 
Trump seeks to sell off half of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Budget plan would drain emergency oil stockpile maintained since 1970s Arab oil embargo
 
Trump told he risks 'lasting damage' to ties between U.S. and Europe
Letter from German official shows growing U.S.-E.U. tensions over climate decision.
 
Scientists say the pace of sea level rise has nearly tripled since 1990
A new study finds a much larger acceleration of global sea level rise than detected in previous work.

Stop hoping we can fix climate change by pulling carbon out of the air, scientists warn
Researchers debunk the idea that we can plant huge new areas of trees — and then potentially burn them for energy — to stop climate change.
 
Shell CEO says climate change is real but energy demand growth is ‘unstoppable’
'Climate change is real....It doesn't mean we have to kiss hydrocarbons goodbye'
 
Don’t panic, humanity’s ‘doomsday’ seed vault is probably still safe
Humanity, on the other hand …
 
EPA to set aside $12 million for buyouts in coming months
The agency also plans to use $800,000 of "carry-over" funds on Administrator Scott Pruitt's security detail.
