Trump v. Earth

The Trump administration buries more climate change research, Ivanka rents from a mining magnate, and another ethics fail at the EPA.

Also, Trump finds a new way to limit scientific advice to his administration.

Plus, the president warns states against protecting their own waterways, and the man Scott Pruitt would call for scientific advice is not a scientist.

Plus, the president’s crazy logic on federal coal leasing and climate modeling.

Trump also kills 20 years of child health research and continues to neglect chemical safety.

Plus, Big Oil (literally!) writes its own offshore drilling rules, Trump fast-tracks his border wall through more wilderness areas, and the Interior Department gets petty with its press releases.

Plus, the president sacrifices an endangered species to oil drillers, and Mike Pompeo makes bizzare climate change comments.

Plus, Sonny Perdue doesn’t understand cancer science, and offshore drillers are writing their own rules.

Otherwise, it was just an ordinary week of secret meetings and betrayals of the public interest.

Plus, the president defies Congress on conservation and wants to force pipelines on states that don’t want them.
