Old-growth trees in Tongass National Forest, which holds nearly twice as much carbon dioxide as the United States releases each year by burning fossil fuels, are embroiled in the politics of timber and climate change.

The Limetree Bay refinery, which showered oil and fumes on St. Croix residents earlier this year, appears to be on the verge of reopening. A federal judge approved the plant’s sale in a bankruptcy hearing Tuesday.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Friday will propose restoring roadless protections on more than 9 million acres of the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, a move that would overturn one of Donald Trump’s most significant changes to public lands.

An examination of 196 country reports to the United Nations reveals a giant gap between what nations declare their emissions to be versus the greenhouse gases they are sending into the atmosphere. The gap ranges from at least 8.5 billion to as high as 13.3 billion tons a year -- surpassing the annual emissions of China.

The White House’s 2030 goal for electric vehicle sales could fall short of what experts say is needed to meet U.S. climate goals.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Thursday that the administration will stop large-scale old-growth logging and bar road development on more than 9 million acres, in a move that would reverse one of Donald Trump’s biggest public land decisions.

Using the Congressional Review Act, the House restored a rule limiting methane leaks from oil and gas operations.

Months after President Biden set a goal of conserving 30 percent of the nation’s land and waters by 2030, the administration Thursday laid out broad principles — but few details — for achieving that vision.

The Environmental Protection Agency proposed on Monday a rule that would sharply cut the use and production of hydrofluorocarbons, powerful greenhouse gases used widely in refrigeration and air conditioning. The proposal, a phase down of 85 percent over the next 15 years, marks the first time the Biden administration has used the power of the federal government to mandate a cut in climate pollution.

Limetree Bay Refinery, once one of the largest oil and gas refineries in the world, has had two serious accidents since reopening in February.

Nearly every form of the nation’s most pervasive deadly air pollutant disproportionately affects Americans of color, regardless of their location or income level, according to a peer-reviewed analysis published Wednesday.

The release of hydrogen sulfide, shortly after the Limetree Bay refinery showered oil on a neighboring community in February, has raised fresh questions about the operation.

The step could help pave the way for a broader climate deal with the nation’s automakers.

The agency announced Thursday that it would withdraw its part of a Trump administration rule blocking states from setting their own tailpipe standards, which could help pave the way for a broader climate deal with the nation’s automakers.
