        <div class="body-description"><p style="">What can we say about the role of <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change/">climate change</a> in the <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/hurricane-harvey-flooding-2478623393.html">unprecedented disaster</a> that is unfolding in Houston with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/harvey?source=feed_text&amp;story_id=1515449771844553" target="_blank">Hurricane Harvey</a>?</p><p style="">There are certain climate change-related factors that we can, with great confidence, say worsened the flooding.</p><p style=""><a href="http://www.insurancejournal.com/%E2%80%A6/sou%E2%80%A6/2017/05/31/452704.htm" target="_blank">Sea level rise attributable to climate change</a> (some is due to coastal subsidence due to human disturbance e.g. oil drilling) is more than half a foot over the past few decades.</p><hr><p style="">That means that the storm surge was a half foot higher than it would have been just decades ago, meaning far more <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/flooding">flooding</a> and destruction.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image" style=""><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="DDOSI61518448965" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="4d95e" src="https://assets.rbl.ms/10607704/980x.png"/></p><p style="">In addition to that, sea surface temperatures in the region have risen about 0.5C (close to 1F) over the past few decades, from roughly 30C (86F) to 30.5C (87F), which contributed to the very warm sea surface temperatures (30.5-31 C or 87-88F). There is a simple thermodynamic relationship known as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausius%E2%80%93Clapeyron_relation" target="_blank">Clausius-Clapeyron equation</a> that tells us there is a roughly 3 percent increase in average atmospheric moisture content for each 0.5C (~1F) of warming. Sea surface temperatures in the area where Harvey intensified were 0.5-1C warmer than current-day average temperatures, which translates to 1-1.5C warmer than the "average" temperatures a few decades ago. That means 3-5 percent more moisture in the atmosphere.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="X5HMM81518448965" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="f7f34" src="https://assets.rbl.ms/10607706/980x.jpg"/></p><p style="">That large amount of moisture meant the potential for much greater rainfalls and greater flooding.<br/></p><p style="">The combination of coastal flooding and heavy rainfall is responsible for the devastating flooding that Houston is experiencing.</p><p style="">Not only are the surface waters of the Gulf unusually warm right now, but there is a deep layer of warm water that Harvey was able to feed upon when it intensified at near record pace as it neared the coast. Human-caused warming is penetrating down into the ocean warming not just the surface but creating deeper layers of warm water in the Gulf and elsewhere.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="A5BTL51518448965" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="12ae9" src="https://assets.rbl.ms/10607705/980x.jpg"/></p><p style="">So Harvey was almost certainly more intense than it would have been in the absence of human- caused warming, which means stronger winds, more wind damage and a larger storm surge (as an example of how this works, <a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/112/41/12610.full" target="_blank">we have shown</a> that climate change has led to a dramatic increase in storm surge risk in New York City, making devastating events like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/sandy?source=feed_text&amp;story_id=1515449771844553" target="_blank">Superstorm Sandy</a> more likely.<br/></p><p style="">Finally, the more tenuous but potentially relevant climate factors: Part of what has made Harvey such a devastating storm is the way it has stalled right near the coast, continuing to pummel Houston and surrounding regions with a seemingly endless deluge which will likely top out at nearly 4 feet of rainfall over a several days-long period before it is done.</p><p style="">The stalling is due to very weak prevailing winds which are failing to steer the storm off to sea, allowing it to spin around and wobble back and forth like a top with no direction. This pattern, in turn, is associated with a greatly expanded subtropical high pressure system over much of the U.S. right now, with the jet stream pushed well to the north. This pattern of subtropical expansion is predicted in model simulations of human-caused climate change.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="I246XP1518448965" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="a061f" src="https://assets.rbl.ms/10607708/980x.jpg"/></p><p style="">More tenuous, but possibly relevant still, is the fact that very persistent, nearly "stationary" summer weather patterns of this sort, where weather anomalies (both high pressure dry hot regions and low-pressure stormy/rainy regions) stay locked in place for many days at a time, appears to be favored by human-caused climate change. We recently published on <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/srep45242" target="_blank">this phenomenon</a>:<br/></p><p style="">In conclusion, while we cannot say climate change "caused" hurricane Harvey (that is an ill-posed question), we can say that it exacerbate several characteristics of the storm in a way that greatly increased the risk of damage and loss of life.</p><p style="">Climate change worsened the impact of Hurricane Harvey.</p></hr>

        <div class="body-description"><div class="widget__brief">
                <p>On Friday, public interest organizations representing farmers and conservationists made their <a href="https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/files/70-1-petitioners-opening-brief-public-version-extracted-292018_89052.pdf" target="_blank">legal case</a> in a <a href="https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/press-releases/4744/public-interest-groups-farmers-file-lawsuit-challenging-monsantos-toxic-pesticides" target="_blank">federal lawsuit</a> against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (<a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/epa">EPA</a>) and the <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/monsanto">Monsanto</a> Company, challenging EPA's approval of Monsanto's new "XtendiMax" <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/pesticides">pesticide</a>. XtendiMax is Monsanto's version of <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/dicamba">dicamba</a>, an old and highly drift-prone weed-killer. EPA's approval permitted XtendiMax to be sprayed for the first time on growing soybeans and cotton that Monsanto has genetically engineered (GE) to be resistant to dicamba.</p>
            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;The 2017 crop season—the first year of XtendiMax use—was an unprecedented disaster. Just as critics warned would happen, dicamba sprayed on Monsanto&#39;s GE soybeans and cotton formed vapor clouds that drifted to damage a host of crops and wild plants. Over three million acres of soybeans as well as scores of vegetable and fruit crops, trees and shrubs throughout the country were damaged by dicamba drift. Flowering plants near cropland also suffered, with potential harms to pollinators, as well as hundreds of &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/endangered-species&#34;&gt;endangered animal and plant species&lt;/a&gt;. Agronomists reported they had never seen herbicide-related drift damage on anything approaching this scale before. As the 2018 season approaches, experts predict similar widespread devastation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;The evidence shows that, rather than protecting farmers and the public interest, government officials rushed this pesticide to market without the rigorous analysis and data the law requires,&#34; said George Kimbrell, of the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Center for Food Safety&lt;/a&gt; and counsel in the case. &#34;There was good reason that decision had such devastating consequences last year: it was illegal.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/files/70-1-petitioners-opening-brief-public-version-extracted-292018_89052.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;papers filed in court&lt;/a&gt; tell the story of how EPA should have known this would occur, yet instead was pressured by Monsanto into approving the pesticide without any measures to prevent vapor drift. The evidence in the case also shows that in late 2017, under pressure to take some action, EPA adopted revised instructions for use Monsanto proposed and approved—measures that agronomists believe will again be ineffective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Denise O&#39;Brien, Iowa farmer and Board president of &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.panna.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Pesticide Action Network&lt;/a&gt;, said, &#34;Last year, EPA ignored concerns of farmers, caving to Monsanto&#39;s pressure and rushing dicamba-resistant seeds to market. EPA has failed utterly to protect farmers from this exploding crisis.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ben Burkett, &lt;a href=&#34;http://nffc.net/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;National Family Farm Coalition&lt;/a&gt; board president raising soy, old growth pine trees and roughly 20 different vegetables in Mississippi commented: &#34;I&#39;m firmly against using dicamba. Mother Nature will win this fight anyway, but dicamba is very detrimental to the environment and will cause more harm than good to farms and farmers.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only did EPA fail to protect farmers, it put at risk literally hundreds of endangered species. Despite its own conclusion that the approval might harm an extraordinary number of the protected birds, mammals and insects in dozens of states, EPA refused to seek the guidance of the federal expert &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/wildlife&#34;&gt;wildlife&lt;/a&gt; agencies, as the Endangered Species Act requires, and instead approved Monsanto&#39;s pesticide without any measures to protect them, and denied there would be any risk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;EPA&#39;s disregard of both the law and the welfare of endangered whooping cranes, grey wolves, Indiana bats, and hundreds of other species at risk of extinction is unconscionable,&#34; &lt;a href=&#34;https://earthjustice.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Earthjustice&lt;/a&gt; attorney Paul Achitoff said. &#34;That the EPA would indulge in this kind of recklessness and junk science to appease Monsanto is shocking.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;The EPA&#39;s foolish approval of dicamba left a deep scar across millions of acres of farms and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/forests&#34;&gt;forests&lt;/a&gt;,&#34; said Nathan Donley, a senior scientist at the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Center for Biological Diversity&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;The ill-advised rush to approve this dangerous drift-prone pesticide reflects just how far the EPA has strayed from its duty to protect Americans and wildlife from harmful toxins.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The plaintiff organizations bringing the lawsuit are National Family Farm Coalition, Pesticide Action Network, Center for Food Safety and Center for Biological Diversity, represented jointly by legal counsel from Earthjustice and Center for Food Safety.&lt;/p&gt;

	Queen Elizabeth II is banning <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/plastics" target="_blank">plastic</a> straws and bottles across the royal estates.
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/11/queen-declares-war-plastic-david-attenborough-documentary/?utm_campaign=Echobox&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Facebook" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> reported that the monarch is behind Buckingham Palace's plans to phase out single-use plastics from public cafes, royal residences and staff dining rooms.
</p>

            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">

&lt;p&gt;
	Royal caterers will instead use china plates and glasses or recyclable paper cups. Takeaway food from the Royal Collection cafes must be made of compostable or biodegradable packaging.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;Across the organization, the Royal Household is committed to reducing its environmental impact,&#34; a palace spokesman said, according to the Telegraph.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;As part of that, we have taken a number of practical steps to cut back on the use of plastics. At all levels, there&#39;s a strong desire to tackle this issue.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The Queen was reportedly inspired to take action after working with famed naturalist Sir David Attenborough on a conservation documentary about wildlife in the Commonwealth.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Attenborough&#39;s &#34;Blue Planet II&#34; documentary that aired last year highlighted the 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/22-facts-about-plastic-pollution-and-10-things-we-can-do-about-it-1881885971.html&#34;&gt;devastating effects&lt;/a&gt; of plastic on our  &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/oceans&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;oceans&lt;/a&gt;  and marine life.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The Royal family is dedicated to a number of 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/prince-harrys-moving-photos-from-africa-trip-show-brutal-reality-of-po-1882128405.html&#34;&gt;environmental causes&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/prince-charles-ocean-plastic-2414062935.html&#34;&gt;Last year,&lt;/a&gt; Prince Charles helped launch a $2 million competition to stop the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/8-million-metric-tons-of-plastic-dumped-into-worlds-oceans-each-year-1882012563.html&#34;&gt;8 million tons of plastics&lt;/a&gt; from entering our oceans each year, which Charles described as an &#34;escalating ecological and human disaster.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	British lawmakers are 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/microbeads-ban-uk-2523906473.html&#34;&gt;also urging&lt;/a&gt; for more action to fight plastic pollution. A ban on &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/microbeads&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;microbeads&lt;/a&gt; came into force in Britain last month, an initiative that will &#34;stop billions of pieces of plastic entering our ecosystem, helping to protect our precious seas and oceans,&#34; Prime Minister Theresa May &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/theresa_may/status/950688770659176448&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;tweeted&lt;/a&gt; then.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	In 2015, a 5p (5 British pennies) fee was introduced on plastic carrier bags, which led to 9 billion fewer bags being used.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#34;It&#39;s making a real difference,&#34; May said of the bag fee. &#34;We want to do the same with single use plastics.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Many businesses in the UK are getting on board with cutting out plastics. Starbucks recently introduced a 5p disposable cup charge in 20 to 25 central London outlets to encourage customers to switch to reusable cups. And Iceland Foods, a major UK supermarket chain specializing in frozen food, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/plastic-pollution-mcdonalds-2525962206.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt; that it will eliminate plastic packaging from its own brand of products by the end of 2023.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

                <p>President Donald <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/trump-watch/">Trump</a> boasted "<a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/963031666150313984" target="_blank">a big week for infrastructure</a>" Monday as the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-" target="_blank">announced</a> its long-awaited $1.5 trillion <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/infrastructure-plan">plan</a> to improve the nation's roads, buildings and power supplies.<br/></p><p>
	 Infrastructure is usually a bipartisan, consensus issue, but environmental groups criticized the White House's initiative, as it involves a <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/trump-infrastructure-plan-2530300337.html">drastic rollback</a> of federal environmental review to shorten the process of approving infrastructure projects.

                        &lt;p&gt;
	&#34;President Trump&#39;s infrastructure proposal is a disaster,&#34; Shelley Poticha, the managing director of the Healthy People &amp;amp; Thriving Communities Program at the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nrdc.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Natural Resources Defense Council&lt;/a&gt;, said in a statement. &#34;It fails to offer the investment needed to bring our country into the 21st century. Even worse, his plan includes an unacceptable corporate giveaway by truncating environmental reviews.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Regulatory oversight for infrastructure projects &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/news/article/2018/02/12/white-house-wants-stimulate-1-5&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;usually falls&lt;/a&gt; to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies. Instead, the White House plan calls for the creation of a &#34;one agency, one decision&#34; scheme, or one lead federal agency to streamline environmental review and the permitting process within 21 months.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	As Trump said last month in his State of the Union address: &#34;Any bill must also streamline the permitting and approval process—getting it down to no more than two years, and perhaps even one.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=&#34;https://wilderness.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;The Wilderness Society&lt;/a&gt; has &lt;a href=&#34;https://wilderness.org/press-release/trump-infrastructure-budget-plans-would-steamroll-environment-safeguards&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;also listed&lt;/a&gt; a number of concerns about the infrastructure blueprint:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;
		•	&lt;strong&gt;Dismantling basic environmental safeguards. &lt;/strong&gt;The leaked version of Trump infrastructure plan would eviscerate the National Environmental Procedures Act (NEPA) by collapsing time lines, freezing out experts and delegating federal authority to states and private interests.  NEPA provides for the essential public review process for federal projects. Billed as &#34;streamlining,&#34; the infrastructure proposal steamrolls over a wide array of safeguards that protect the nation&#39;s air, waters and land.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;•	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/pipelines&#34;&gt;Pipelines&lt;/a&gt; through parks. &lt;/strong&gt;The infrastructure plan would give Interior Secretary &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/ryan-zinke&#34;&gt;Ryan Zinke&lt;/a&gt; the authority to approve natural gas pipeline routes that cut through national parks.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;
		•	&lt;strong&gt;Paying for infrastructure by selling off public lands.&lt;/strong&gt; The White House document on infrastructure called &#34;Funding Principles&#34; included a section titled “Disposition of Federal Real Property.&#34; That provision would give the president authority to use executive orders for &#34;disposal of Federal assets to improve the overall allocation of economic resources in infrastructure investment.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;With this infrastructure plan, President Trump would line the pockets of oil and gas companies while steamrolling environmental safeguards,&#34; said Drew McConville, senior managing director at The Wilderness Society, in a statement. &#34;He is taking a bipartisan priority and turning it into a divisive scheme to reward friends in the fossil fuel sector.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The Trump  administration has already targeted &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/10/05/climate/trump-environment-rules-reversed.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;more than 60&lt;/a&gt; environmental regulations, including an Obama-era rule that protects infrastructure projects from flooding and rising sea levels exacerbated by &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;climate change&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;With such a public record of promoting the interests of corporate polluters over communities and the environment, no one should be fooled by Trump&#39;s infrastructure scam,&#34; the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.americanprogress.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Center for American Progress&lt;/a&gt; noted last month. &#34;It is little more than a Trojan horse designed to gut the environmental protections that are necessary for the clean air, clean water, wildlife and national parks that truly make America great.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Finally, as the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/10/climate/trump-infrastructure-climate-change.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt; pointed out, an infrastructure strategy led by an administration that &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/climate-denier&#34;&gt;denies climate change&lt;/a&gt; and has reversed critical environmental protections could mean that costly new infrastructure projects may be quickly rendered obsolete by the impacts of a warming planet.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;The impact of not considering climate change when planning infrastructure means you end up building the wrong thing, in the wrong place, to the wrong standards,&#34; Michael Kuby, a professor of geographical sciences and urban planning at Arizona State University and contributing author to the &lt;a href=&#34;https://science2017.globalchange.gov/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;National Climate Assessment&lt;/a&gt;, told the publication. &#34;That&#39;s a whole lot of waste.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;

                        &lt;p&gt;So why is the company still a part of—in fact, a major part of—the problem?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;An exchange between Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt during a recent &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2018/1/oversight-hearing-to-receive-testimony-from-environmental-protection-agency-administrator-scott-pruitt&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;oversight hearing&lt;/a&gt; is a case in point, providing a window into how ExxonMobil&#39;s undue influence continues to block climate action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;During the Jan. 30 hearing, which was held by the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, Sen. Cory Booker inadvertently provoked Inhofe by raising the issue of environmental justice. The New Jersey Democrat cited the threat climate change-induced flooding poses to three dozen Superfund sites in his state and asked Pruitt if he was &#34;taking into account the environmental burdens disproportionately impacting communities of color, indigenous communities and low-income communities.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inhofe seized the opportunity to contradict Booker, claiming that minority and low-income communities are disproportionately &lt;em&gt;harmed&lt;/em&gt; by environmental protections, specifically citing the Obama administration&#39;s Clean Power Plan, which would have dramatically reduced carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants if Pruitt hadn&#39;t repealed it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Booker, Inhofe said, was implying that Pruitt was trying to &#34;punish&#34; vulnerable Americans. &#34;I wanted to just remind you,&#34; Inhofe told the committee, &#34;that we had a guy I remember so well, Harry Alford. He was the president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. He provided some of the most powerful testimony that I have ever heard when it comes to the effects of the Clean Power Plan and some of the other regulations … on black and Hispanic poverty, including job losses and increased energy costs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&#34;[Alford] was very emphatic as to who was paying the price on these,&#34; the Oklahoma Republican continued, &#34;and I think sometimes that the previous administration forgot that there are already people out there who are paying all they can pay just to try to eat and keep their house warm.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ExxonMobil&#39;s Echo Chamber&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inhofe&#39;s source for his assertion? A discredited, ExxonMobil-funded study by an Exxon-funded advocacy group that was based on discredited studies by other ExxonMobil-funded organizations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Inhofe rested his argument on previous congressional testimony by Harry Alford, president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), a shoestring, mom-and-pop operation that is unapologetic about taking fossil fuel industry money. &#34;Of course we do and it is only natural,&#34; Alford &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.nationalbcc.org/news/beyond-the-rhetoric/2428-fossil-fuels-and-african-americans-it-s-family&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt; on NBCC&#39;s website. &#34;The legacy of Blacks in this nation has been tied to the miraculous history of fossil fuel…. [F]ossil fuels have been our economic friend.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of NBCC&#39;s closest economic friends is ExxonMobil, which has donated more than $1.14 million to the group since 2001.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;What did the company get for that money?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2015, NBCC commissioned a report that &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.nationalbcc.org/news/latest-news/2426-epa-rule-impoverishes-minorities&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;claimed&lt;/a&gt; the Clean Power Plan would &#34;inflict severe and disproportionate economic burdens on poor families, especially minorities.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact, unchecked climate change would more than likely &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/climate-change-hits-poor-hardest/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;hurt&lt;/a&gt; those communities most, and investments in energy efficiency under the plan would ultimately &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ucsusa.org/global-warming/reduce-emissions/how-much-will-clean-power-plan-cost?_ga=2.50634219.339710596.1518014951-803850457.1367700932#bf-toc-2&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;lower&lt;/a&gt; electricity bills across the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How did NBCC arrive at its upside-down assessment? The Union of Concerned Scientists took a &lt;a href=&#34;http://blog.ucsusa.org/new-flawed-study-of-the-clean-power-plan-how-the-misi-study-gets-it-so-wrong-759&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;close look&lt;/a&gt; at the report and found it was based on several flawed fossil fuel industry-friendly studies. Two of those bogus studies were produced by ExxonMobil grantees: the Heritage Foundation, which received $340,000 from ExxonMobil between 2007 and 2013, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which received $3 million between 2014 and 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The Chamber study, which came out just days before the EPA released a draft of the Clean Power Plan, was debunked not only by the &lt;a href=&#34;https://blog.epa.gov/blog/2014/05/setting-the-record-straight-on-the-chamber-of-commerces-report/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;EPA&lt;/a&gt;, but also by &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/may/30/its-epa-vs-us-chamber-commerce-over-climate-change/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;PolitiFact.com&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2014/06/03/gop-lawmakers-rush-to-cite-study-to-discredit-new-epa-rule-but-study-assumed-epa-rule-would-be-tougher/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;The Washington Post&lt;/a&gt;. Among its many faults, the Chamber study—which was co-sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute—wildly inflated the cost of the plan and failed to consider the benefits of cutting carbon emissions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ExxonMobil Spreads its Money Around&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;But there&#39;s more than just the fact that ExxonMobil financed deliberately flawed studies to try to derail the Clean Power Plan. The company also is a major supporter of a number of Senate EPW Committee members, including Inhofe, who are adamant &lt;a href=&#34;https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/pg5zqg/a-guide-to-the-climate-change-deniers-in-congress&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;climate science deniers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inhofe has deep ties to the oil and gas industry, which has &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/summary?cid=N00005582&amp;amp;cycle=CAREER&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;donated&lt;/a&gt; $1.85 million to his campaign war chest over his long career in Congress, more than twice than any other industry. Three oil and gas companies are among the senator&#39;s &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/summary?cid=N00005582&amp;amp;cycle=CAREER&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;top 10&lt;/a&gt; corporate contributors: Koch Industries, Devon Energy and … ExxonMobil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Six of the other 10 Republicans on the EPW Committee also are on ExxonMobil&#39;s &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=d000000129&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;donation list&lt;/a&gt;, including Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the current committee chairman. Roughly half of the $119,500 ExxonMobil contributed to the seven senators over the last decade went to Barrasso and Inhofe, the committee&#39;s previous chairman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then there&#39;s ExxonMobil&#39;s link to Pruitt, Oklahoma&#39;s attorney general before President Trump tapped him to run the EPA. From 2012 through 2013, he chaired the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) and afterward served on the organization&#39;s executive committee. From 2014 through 2016, ExxonMobil &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.opensecrets.org/527s/527cmtedetail_donors.php?url=527cmtedetail_donors.php%3Fcycle%3D2014%26ein%3D464501717&amp;amp;cname=Exxon+Mobil&amp;amp;ein=464501717&amp;amp;cycle=2014&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;gave&lt;/a&gt; RAGA $160,000 in three annual installments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Just a few weeks after the company made its 2016 donation of $50,000, Pruitt and then-RAGA Chairman Luther Strange, at the time Alabama&#39;s attorney general, co-authored a National Review&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.nationalreview.com/article/435470/climate-change-attorneys-general&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;column&lt;/a&gt; attacking a &lt;a href=&#34;https://insideclimatenews.org/news/30032016/climate-change-fraud-investigation-exxon-eric-shneiderman-18-attorneys-general&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;coalition of state attorneys general&lt;/a&gt; investigating ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel companies for misleading investors and the general public about climate change. Parroting ExxonMobil&#39;s &lt;a href=&#34;https://insideclimatenews.org/news/13012018/exxon-climate-change-investor-fraud-investigations-lawsuit-free-speech-new-york&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;argument&lt;/a&gt;, Pruitt and Strange charged that the coalition was violating the company&#39;s first amendment right to free speech.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&#34;The debate&#34; over climate change, they wrote &#34;is far from settled. Scientists continue to disagree about the degree and extent of global warming and its connection to the actions of mankind. That debate should be encouraged—in classrooms, public forums and the halls of Congress. It should not be silenced with threats of prosecution. Dissent is not a crime.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inhofe Upstaged&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;In this case, Inhofe&#39;s counterfactual comment didn&#39;t make it into the ensuing media coverage. Along with nearly everything else that was said during the two-and-a-half hour marathon, it was eclipsed by a bombshell dropped by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. The Rhode Island Democrat revealed that during a February 2016 &lt;a href=&#34;http://documentedinvestigations.org/2018/01/30/scott-pruitt-trump-audio/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;radio interview&lt;/a&gt;, Pruitt said Trump would be &#34;more abusive to the Constitution than Barack Obama, and that&#39;s saying a lot.&#34; Whitehouse read Pruitt&#39;s remark aloud and asked him if he recalled making it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;I don&#39;t,&#34; Pruitt &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/30/politics/pruitt-trump-2016-remarks-abusive-constitution/index.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;responded&lt;/a&gt;, &#34;and I don&#39;t echo that today at all.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;I guess not,&#34; Whitehouse replied.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Not surprisingly, that embarrassing nugget was the story. There was no way that Inhofe&#39;s rambling, ExxonMobil-sponsored falsehood could compete in the media with red meat like that. But overshadowed or not, Inhofe provided yet another incontrovertible piece of evidence that—despite ExxonMobil&#39;s statements to the contrary—the company is still very much engaged behind the scenes in trying to stymie any government attempt to seriously address climate change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://blog.ucsusa.org/author/elliott-negin#.WoHMmpPwbBI&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Elliott Negin&lt;/a&gt; is a senior writer in the Communications Department at the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ucsusa.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Union of Concerned Scientists&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

                <p>Nestled inside the U.S. budget lawmakers passed Friday morning were tax breaks for an array of energy sources, including some struggling and controversial projects and technologies. </p><p>A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers, including several Democrats from <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/coal">coal</a>-producing states, pushed through extended tax breaks for carbon capture and storage technologies (CCS) in the new bill, expanding a tax credit created in 2008 for 12 years. </p>

                        &lt;p&gt;The CCS extenders have drawn praise from a diverse collection of &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/fossil-fuels&#34;&gt;fossil fuel&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/renewable-energy/&#34;&gt;clean energy&lt;/a&gt; camps, but also skepticism from some groups who claim the credits have been used only to subsidize increased oil production. The budget also extended a credit for &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/nuclear&#34;&gt;nuclear&lt;/a&gt; power plants that will primarily help the struggling Vogtle plant in Georgia.&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As reported by &lt;a href=&#34;https://insideclimatenews.org/news/09022018/congress-tax-breaks-carbon-capture-css-geothermal-solar-biodiesel&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;InsideClimate News&lt;/a&gt;, a coalition of environmental groups including &lt;a href=&#34;https://earthjustice.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Earthjustice&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://foe.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Friends of the Earth&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.greenpeace.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Greenpeace USA&lt;/a&gt; opposed the credits and said they &#34;have not delivered measurable progress toward more climate friendly uses of carbon such as permanent sequestration or utilization, and appear to only have been used to increase oil production.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nrdc.org/experts/elizabeth-noll/congress-may-miss-huge-clean-energy-boost-tax-extenders&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt; Wednesday, Elizabeth Noll, legislative director for transportation and energy at the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nrdc.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Natural Resources Defense Council&lt;/a&gt;, wrote, &#34;Carbon capture can be a useful tool to reduce emissions of dirty power plants and industrial sources, but we need to strengthen accountability, not weaken it, to ensure taxpayer investments are benefiting them.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For a deeper dive:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;General budget: &lt;a href=&#34;https://insideclimatenews.org/news/09022018/congress-tax-breaks-carbon-capture-css-geothermal-solar-biodiesel&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;InsideClimate News&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/02/budget-deal-has-tax-credit-extensions-for-nuclear-fuel-cells-carbon-capture/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Ars Technica&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://qz.com/1203803/donald-trump-signed-a-landmark-bill-to-support-carbon-capture-and-nuclear-power/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Quartz&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-08/biofuel-producers-nuclear-power-get-boost-in-u-s-budget-deal&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Bloomberg&lt;/a&gt;.

Seventeen of them were discovered to have died, about 4 percent of a total population of 455.

                        &lt;p&gt;In response, the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Center for Biological Diversity&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://defenders.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Defenders of Wildlife&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.americanhumane.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;American Humane Society&lt;/a&gt; are suing the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.commerce.gov/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;U.S. Department of Commerce&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.noaa.gov/https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/welcome&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Fisheries&lt;/a&gt; and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). According to the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/whales-complaint.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;complaint&lt;/a&gt; filed on Jan. 18, entanglements from lobster trap lines and other commercial fishing gear unduly jeopardize the dwindling whale populations and breach the species&#39; right to protection under the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lobster industry has long been implicated in North Atlantic right whale mortality. Passing whales can easily become &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/north-atlantic-right-whale-2520326598.html&#34;&gt;entangled in lobster fishing gear&lt;/a&gt;—and when they do, their deaths can be slow, painful and gruesome. The heavy fishing line, which is often still connected to the clunky lobster traps, can wrap around a whale&#39;s head, mouth, flippers, or tail. Entangled whales either drown, unable to surface for air, or the remaining line impedes their feeding and reproduction while causing festering infections. Entanglements have been responsible for &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmars.2016.00137/full&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;85 percent&lt;/a&gt; of all North Atlantic right whale deaths since 2010. Now, climate change is making matters worse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The Gulf of Maine is &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.seascapemodeling.org/seascape_projects/2014/01/the-gulf-of-maine-is-warming-fast.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;one of the fastest warming bodies of water on the planet&lt;/a&gt;. Lobster populations have migrated north to warmer waters, resulting in catches that are more lucrative in Maine than in other areas of the Atlantic. Maine&#39;s lobster industry is booming—the state currently catches more than 80 percent of all lobsters caught in the U.S. This means that lobstermen are setting more traps just as more North Atlantic right whales are showing up, following the warmer waters north to feed. The shifting habitats and increase in fishing has led to a &#34;perfect storm of mortalities of right whales,&#34; said Richard Pace, a large-whale researcher at NOAA&#39;s Northeast Fisheries Science Center. In 2016, Maine set a record when the state harvested more than 130 million pounds of crustaceans. With the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.fao.org/in-action/globefish/market-reports/resource-detail/en/c/1052669/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;global appetite for lobster steadily increasing&lt;/a&gt;, the question of how the lobster industry can help prevent whale deaths is ever more pressing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;The right whale situation has really become a crisis,&#34; said Kristen Monsell, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. &#34;Entanglement in commercial fishing gear is now the number one cause of the species&#39; critically endangered status, and the federal government needs to do everything in its power if we&#39;re going to save these amazing animals from going extinct.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;North Atlantic right whales are not just majestic; they also play an important role in marine ecosystems. They help to support the production of plankton, which is the very base of the food web and gives us half the oxygen we breathe. Whales also help sustain fish stock and cycle nutrients throughout the marine food web.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;[The North Atlantic right whale] is a unique species. It is only found along the East Coast of the U.S. and Canada. It doesn&#39;t live anywhere else in the world,&#34; commented Regina Asmutis-Silvia, executive director of &lt;a href=&#34;http://us.whales.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Whale and Dolphin Conservation&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;If we not only have an obligation to protect them, we should selfishly want to protect them because we need them.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Historically, Maine&#39;s lobster industry has managed lobster populations sustainably. That, plus lobster populations scuttling northward, has likely contributed to its success compared to other American lobster fisheries. A report by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute details how Maine lobstermen achieved record hauls with a decades-old conservation strategy. They only use traps—no dragging or diving allowed—and the traps must have slats for juvenile lobsters and biodegradable hatches to release lobsters if the trap is lost. Large, egg-carrying females are returned to the sea marked with a &#34;v notch&#34; in their tail to signal to other lobstermen that the lobster is off limits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But when it comes to whales, Maine&#39;s lobster industry is subject to less regulation than other parts of the northeastern coast. About 71 percent of Maine&#39;s waters are exempt from NOAA Fisheries&#39; &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/protected/whaletrp/docs/Outreach%20Guides%20Updated%20May%202015/northeast_trap_pot___2017.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan&lt;/a&gt;—which requires modifications like marking gear and sink rope to reduce the industry&#39;s impact on whales—under the rationale that whales are not present in the exempted areas, such as bays, harbors and inlets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The federal government has been grappling with how to regulate the industry to prevent whale deaths for almost a decade. In 2009, legislation required lobstermen to replace all floating rope on groundlines with sinking rope, which is less likely to entangle whales. In 2015, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/protected/whaletrp/14alwtrpfr.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;a new federal rule went into effect&lt;/a&gt; requiring lobstermen to use up to 15 traps with each buoy when fishing beyond designated exemption lines off Maine&#39;s coast. The legislation was designed to reduce the number of vertical lines in the water column and, thus, reduce the chance that whales would get entangled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The regulations immediately drew ire from lobstermen across the state. &#34;The prohibition on float rope has increased the cost of business for Maine&#39;s lobster industry, which is already subject to increasing costs of fuel and bait,&#34; said Jeff Nichols, communications director at the Maine Department of Marine Resources. &#34;Sink rope has been shown to wear out much faster than float rope, which results in the need to replace the rope more often and has led to more gear loss because sink rope has been shown to get caught on the rocky bottom and break.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Worse still, the sinking rope and vertical line legislation didn&#39;t prevent whale deaths. In 2016, researchers from the New England Aquarium, Woods Hole and other institutions &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmars.2016.00137/full&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;released a paper&lt;/a&gt; concluding that there is no evidence that current fishing regulations have been effective at reducing mortality in whales. Becky Bartovics, executive committee member at the Sierra Club&#39;s Maine Chapter, cited a lack of both proper science and consultation of local knowledge as the cause of the legislative blunder. &#34;I&#39;m sure the intention was to reduce the number of lines going to the bottom, but 15 traps weigh a lot.&#34; That weight, if entangled with a whale, will certainly kill the animal—and it puts stress on the fishermen, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In light of these ineffective attempts to address whale mortality, local lobstermen and conservationists alike are wary of new legislation. &#34;Many times the scientists have come up with a solution without working with the lobstermen,&#34; Bartovics said. &#34;That&#39;s why the lobstermen are frustrated.&#34; The lobster community in Maine has been open to other solutions. A &lt;a href=&#34;https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/d9b6/49a937a562d010c2a9ab6aad0332d4b1f4aa.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;2014 study&lt;/a&gt; showed that red and orange ropes are more visible to right whales and could reduce entanglements; according to Bartovics, some lobstermen have started spraying red paint on their ropes to do just that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lawsuit filed in January aims to hold fisheries accountable for North Atlantic right whales&#39; deaths and, ultimately, put more mitigation efforts in place&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&#34;The long-term goal is to figure this out across fisheries and across species. The goal is not to shut down fisheries,&#34; Asmutis-Silvia said. &#34;There are no bad guys here. We need to work together to figure out a solution.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reposted with permission from our media associate &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/lobster-industry-ensnared-north-atlantic-right-whale-deaths&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;SIERRA Magazine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

        <div class="body-description"><div class="widget__brief">
                <p>
	U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/epa">EPA</a>) Administrator <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/scott-pruitt">Scott Pruitt</a> has spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on first or business class flights while his aides generally fly coach, according to the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/first-class-travel-distinguishes-scott-pruitts-epa-tenure/2018/02/11/5bb89afc-0b7d-11e8-8b0d-891602206fb7_story.html" target="_blank">Washington Post</a>. Pruitt has also used military jets to travel back and forth to events.
</p><p>
	During a two-week stretch in June—around the same time <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/trump-watch">President Trump</a> announced that the U.S. is withdrawing from the <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/paris-agreement">Paris climate agreement</a>—the EPA boss and his top aides racked up at least $90,000 in taxpayer-funded travel to help tout Trump's agenda, the newspaper reported, citing EPA receipts obtained by the <a href="https://www.environmentalintegrity.org/" target="_blank">Environmental Integrity Project</a> through Freedom of Information Act requests.
</p>
            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;
	One of Pruitt&#39;s short domestic trips from Washington, DC to New York was booked first class for $1,600—six times the amount spent on the two media aides who came along and sat in coach. Another $36,000 was spent on a military flight from Cincinnati to New York.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Previous EPA administrators usually refrained from such premium bookings. &lt;a href=&#34;http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/373372-epa-chief-frequently-flies-first-class-racking-up-travel-costs-report&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;The Hill&lt;/a&gt; pointed out that federal regulations call for government travelers to &#34;consider the least expensive class of travel that meets their needs&#34; but can use first class for security or medical reasons.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	EPA spokeswoman Liz Bowman told the Post that all of Pruitt&#39;s travel expenses were approved by federal ethics officials. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	She added that Pruitt&#39;s trips are aimed at furthering &#34;positive environmental outcomes and achieve tangible environmental results.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;He&#39;s communicating the message about his agenda and the president&#39;s agenda,&#34; she said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	This is &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/scott-pruitt-epa-achievements-2528833654.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;not the first time&lt;/a&gt; that Pruitt&#39;s taxpayer spending tab has been under scrutiny. Earlier reports found that the EPA head has spent more than &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/pruitt-travel-oklahoma-2479140240.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;$58,000&lt;/a&gt; on private and military flights. Salaries for his infamous 24/7 security detail will cost at least &lt;a href=&#34;https://edition.cnn.com/2017/10/23/politics/epa-pruitt-security-costs/index.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;$2 million per year&lt;/a&gt;. And let&#39;s not forget the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/pruitt-epa-communications-2490136462.html&#34;&gt;$25,000&lt;/a&gt; of taxpayer money spent on a phone booth.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Tom Price, the health and human services secretary, resigned amid fierce criticism in September after &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.politico.com/tipsheets/politico-pulse/2017/09/29/scoop-tom-prices-travel-costs-exceed-1-million-since-may-222560&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;POLITICO&lt;/a&gt; revealed that his use of military flights and private jets cost more than $1 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed&#34;&gt;
