The EPA edited out farmworker concerns about pesticides.
In November, EPA reps met with farmworkers and health experts to hear what they had to say about protecting agricultural laborers from chemicals. The EPA is supposed to register all the concerns people bring to it. In this case, it’s pretty clear that it misrepresented some of those concerns when it sent its notes to New Mexico Democratic Senator Tom Udall.

PIPELIBEyet again

Lawmakers are trying to criminalize pipeline protesters for “conspiracy.”

Efforts to prosecute environmental activists with felony or eco-terrorism charges have intensified since Standing Rock. Those tensions are coming to a head in Louisiana and Minnesota, where newly introduced bills seek to make it a felony to plan to trespass, damage, or disrupt pipeline operations — even if the individuals didn’t physically participate or go through with the action.

DAMAGE CONTROL
6 tricks Scott Pruitt uses to manipulate the media

1. Pruitt goes to right-wing news outlets to push his messages out

2. Pruitt gives interviews to generalists instead of environmental reporters

3. Pruitt’s EPA withholds basic information from the press and the public

4. Pruitt’s EPA sends reporters articles by climate deniers instead of useful information

5. Pruitt repeats misleading talking points

6. Pruitt’s EPA retaliates against journalists

The bottom line

When Pruitt gets more positive media coverage for himself and the EPA, or at least less negative coverage, it can sway public opinion in favor of his right-wing agenda and make it easier for him to continue eviscerating environmental protections. His successes then help him curry favor with oil companies, the Koch network, and other monied interests that could fund a future Pruitt campaign for senator, governor, or even president. After all, the EPA administrator is notoriously ambitious.

If Pruitt does ascend higher, you can expect to see a lot more anti-regulatory fervor and a lot more media manipulation and maltreatment.

great article

HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO

Shell predicted it would get sued over climate change back in ’98. Now, those lawsuits are here, and that prediction could bite the multinational oil company in the ass.

A treasure trove of documents released Thursday provide new evidence that Shell,like Exxon, has been gaslighting the public for decades. The documents, dating as far back as 1988, foretold “violent and damaging storms,” and said that “it would be tempting for society to wait until then before doing anything.”

At that point, the documents predicted, “a coalition of environmental NGOs brings a class-action suit against the U.S. government and fossil-fuel companies on the grounds of neglecting what scientists (including their own) have been saying for years: that something must be done.” Sound familiar?

When the scientific community began warning that the world could go down in fossil-fueled flames, Shell tried to convince them to take a chill pill, derailing global efforts to curb climate change.

And it gets shadier: This whole time, Shell has known exactly how culpable it is for a warming planet. By the mid ’80s, it had calculated that it was responsible for 4 percent of global carbon emissions.

That means San Francisco, Oakland, and New York now have more ammo for their lawsuits against Shell. The biggest hurdle to their cases wasn’t proving that climate change is a thing — even Big Oil’s lawyers can’t argue that anymore — but that fossil fuel companies can be held legally liable for the damages caused by climate change.

There is much about these animals that remains an enigma, and the strandings continue to happen.

When they first warned more than 30 years ago that human activity could create an enhanced greenhouse effect, scientists hoped it would lead to decisive action to lower fossil fuel emissions.

Instead, levels have continued to rise to a point most scientists agree that climate change accelerated by fossil fuel emissions is changing the weather and intensifying storms.

Climate change litigation rising with the seas as victims revert to 'Plan B'
Across the world a shift towards climate change litigation is gathering steam as low-lying island countries and even United States' cities take aim at governments and big oil companies for failing to act proportionately to reduce carbon emissions.

Scott Pruitt might be on the wrong end of a Trump tweet soon. Here’s why.
Pruitt has a “back-to-basics” agenda for the Environmental Protection Agency. You know what isn’t basic? His spending. In fact, it’s getting him into trouble with the White House.

On Tuesday, a reporter asked President Trump whether he supports Pruitt. “I hope he’s going to be great,” Trump answered. Cue ominous music.

How the Death of 6,000 Sheep Spurred the American Debate on Chemical Weapons
The Dugway sheep incident of March 1968 made visible the military’s covert attempts to test and stockpile millions of dollars worth of chemical weapons

Read more: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/hist...apons-cold-war-180968717/#Td1eeQ0p3s1XHqXg.99

But the United States never signed the agreement. Between 1961 and 1969 alone, the U.S. military spent $2 billion on its chemical weapons stockpile, writes science historian Simone Müller in Historical Social Research. Over that same period, the military dumped hundreds of thousands of tons of old chemical weapons directly into the ocean, without bothering to keep records of precisely where or how many weapons were disposed of. The military also discovered multiple instances of chemicals leaking out of their containers, including 21,000 leaky bomb clusters discovered in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Denver.

Yet the American public was almost entirely unaware of any of the stockpiles, or the danger of testing, storing and transporting them. The only synthetic chemicals being discussed in the public sphere, Eardley-Pryor says, were pesticides harmful to the environment like DDT (Rachel Carson’s landmark research on the topic, Silent Spring, was published in 1962) and so-called “nonlethal” chemicals used in Vietnam, like the defoliating herbicide Agent Orange, and tear gas. (The defoliant would later be discovered to be carcinogenic, resulting in a multitude of health problems for Vietnam veterans and residents of the country.)

The Most Important Climate Treaty You’ve Never Heard Of
This unsung treaty limits pollutants that increase global warming or hurt human health. Its latest update—which adds black carbon—could be ratified this year.

No? Well, you're in good company. This treaty has been called an "unsung hero" in the fight against air pollution and climate change. It may be unknown in the United States, but it is a landmark international agreement, setting limits on how much black carbon and other pollutants countries can emit.

Ocean Heat Waves More Frequent, Last Longer

Going with the flow is getting hotter. According to a new study, the number of annual marine heat waves — when the water’s surface temperature stays warmer than usual for at least five days — has increased by 54 percent since the 1920s. They also last 17 percent longer. A result of human-caused climate change, rising ocean temperatures spell bad news for delicate marine ecosystems like coral reefs. And there’s no end in sight: Since ocean warming is expected to continue, it could mean even more heat waves in the future.

North Dakota is the first state with the power to decide how it will bury carbon. On Tuesday, the Trump administration shifted the responsibility for regulating carbon storage in North Dakota from the federal government to the state. The idea is that regulators on the ground might do a better job than the feds. That follows a recent bill, just passed as part of Congress’s budget deal, that encourages utilities and industries to start capturing their emissions.
