Recently, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a report that will likely have major effects on how the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protects people from dangerous air pollutants. At issue is the EPA’s process of compiling what the agency calls an “integrated science assessment.” The focus might sound esoteric, but the stakes could not be higher, especially given the fact that a large and growing body of evidence links air pollution to death and illness

Next month, Egypt will host the United Nations’ 27th annual international climate negotiations, known as the Conference of the Parties, or in this case COP27. While there is enormous potential for UN climate negotiations to transform climate action, meaningful progress has been delayed in part by the fossil fuel industry’s deceptive tactics. Last year’s COP was notable as the first to explicitly mention “fossil fuels” in the final decision document.

The scoping process has been key to California’s success in cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The process requires the government to assess past progress, project future emissions, and come up with a strategy to meet its climate goals. In contrast, in many states – and at the federal level – there’s no real mechanism for a comprehensive look at climate policy.

There is lots of talk about fossil gas these days in Canada, and it can be a lot to keep up with. So what’s going on? And what does it mean for the climate? The war in Ukraine and potential fuel shortages in countries like Germany this winter have brought the issue of gas into the spotlight. The industry is saying the world needs more fossil gas (also known as “natural gas”), exported overseas in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
