The Environmental Protection Agency's decision to allow the use of a powerful disinfectant by American Airlines and two Texas sports clinics is facing criticism.
The decision by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers marks a setback for the contested project, which has drawn fire from members of President Trump's inner circle.
The pandemic "provides feedback on a daily basis of what happens when you ignore science," said atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe. Will that make people more willing to heed climate experts?
