United States Should Be Leading on Climate Change, Not Retreating

EESI Executive Director Daniel Bresette: “The United States formally withdrew from the Paris Agreement today, the only nation—out of 196—to do so. Climate change is real and we are already feeling the effects of it across the United States. The longer we wait to get serious about climate change, the harder, more disruptive, and costlier it will be to curb temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. States and cities are doing their best to keep up, but we need the federal government to be part of the effort. We should be leading, but instead we are retreating.”

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.

Trump Administration Budget Proposal Terrible for Climate

“The Trump Administration unfortunately never misses an opportunity to take a wrong turn on climate action,” said EESI Executive Director Daniel Bresette. “The 2021 budget proposal released today could—and should—provide a path to significantly reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, but instead it does the exact opposite.”

U.N. Climate Negotiations Conclude with Mixed Results

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) regrets the limited decisions reached at the U.N. climate negotiations in Madrid. Representatives from almost 200 nations met at the 25th Conference of the Parties of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP25) to address issues left undecided in the Paris Agreement Rulebook, which was developed at last year’s meeting in Poland. The negotiations in Madrid centered on devising a framework for international carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

U.N. Report Is Clear: Bold Climate Action Is Needed Now

“The U.N. report’s findings are bleak,” said EESI Executive Director Daniel Bresette. “The United States and other countries are failing to rein in greenhouse gas emissions, which means that we need to make even deeper and faster cuts if we want to curb climate change. We need to step up our commitments, and do so now. There are policy options available to us today that would have an immediate impact. In fact, we have just laid out an achievable set of policy recommendations to the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.

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.”
