Rejection of the Chevron Doctrine Casts Uncertainty on Future Climate Action

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) is deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision today to overturn the Chevron doctrine, which gave agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reasonable deference when interpreting statutes.

The Fifth National Climate Assessment Demands the Attention of Congress

Today, the U.S. government released the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), the Congressionally-mandated report on climate change impacts in the United States. “Our elected leaders owe it to their constituents to come to terms with the challenges of climate change. Only then can we find ways to work together to implement equitable solutions that will help communities prepare for and adapt to increasingly severe climate impacts,” said Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) President Daniel Bresette.

U.N. Report Confirms Grave Threat of Climate Change

"The report released today by the United Nations is unequivocal in its findings—climate change presents a grave threat to the health and wellbeing of everything on this planet and will require accelerated action to avoid the loss of life, biodiversity, and infrastructure," said Daniel Bresette, executive director of the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI). "It makes crystal clear that there is an urgent need to cut our greenhouse gas emissions and prepare our communities to withstand the worsening impacts of climate change."

Congress Must Act on the Climate Crisis

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) welcomes today's release of a staff report by the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. The Committee, formed in January 2019 at the start of the 116th Congress, was charged with making ambitious climate policy recommendations to Congress to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are contributing to rising temperatures, rising sea levels, and more frequent and destructive extreme weather.

Climate Change Will Disrupt Oceans, Causing Chaos Says U.N.

Today, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s leading body of climate scientists, released its Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (the cryosphere refers to areas containing frozen water, such as glaciers and snowcapped mountains). More than 100 scientists from 80 countries examined thousands of peer-reviewed studies to assess the impacts of climate change on the world’s oceans, as well as its coastal, polar, and mountain regions. Their conclusions were grim. “Global warming of 1 degree Celsius has already taken place, and the impacts are already being felt: rising sea levels, disappearing glaciers, more extreme weather, marine heatwaves…” noted EESI Executive Director Carol Werner. “Already severe, these impacts will only get worse as we continue to release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.”

Pentagon Report on Vulnerable Bases Incomplete

Today, the Department of Defense released a Congressionally-mandated report on the effects of a changing climate on America's military bases. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute welcomes the report but finds it incomplete, as it fails to list the most vulnerable bases, per Congress's directive. More importantly, the report doesn’t list and price out actionable measures that could be taken to better prepare America's armed forces for the impacts of climate change.

National Climate Assessment Confirms We Have to Act

On November 23, 2018, the U.S. government released Volume II of the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA), which confirms—once again—that climate change is already having adverse impacts on Americans. "How many wake-up calls do we need? Every new National Climate Assessment has built on the previous one, confirming that climate change is already happening, and that we need to act," said EESI Executive Director Carol Werner.
