Pennsylvania regulators failed to protect public health and the environment from pollution and other harms caused by fracking operations, a grand jury investigation concluded.

It detailed the systemic failure of the state environment and health departments to protect the public from the "inherent dangers" of fracking operations. "As we see it, the purpose of government agencies like [the Department of Environmental Protection] is to proactively ... prevent harm — not wait and see if the worst really happens," Shapiro said.</p>
<p>The grand jurors concluded fracking caused residents to suffer from listing rashes, headaches, nausea, tremors, and burning eyes -- symptoms that would often subside when residents left their homes. Parents testified that their children would wake at night with severe nosebleeds and in one instance vibrations from fracking forced worms "up out of the ground" into yards and basements. "That is not a reality we are willing to accept," the jurors wrote. </p>

Extreme Heat Is Killing Americans While Government Neglect Increases the Danger
17 June

Extreme heat fueled by climate change killed more than 10,000 deaths in the U.S. between 1999 and 2016, more than hurricanes, tornadoes or floods in most years, an investigation by multiple outlets revealed.
<p>The analysis, jointly <a href="https://publicintegrity.org/environment/hidden-epidemics/underfunded-unprepared-cdc-fight-against-climate-change-public-health-heat-death/" target="_blank">published</a> by Columbia Journalism Investigations, the Center for Public Integrity and Covering Climate Now, also found actions taken by the CDC climate program created more than 10 years ago to address threats like extreme heat have been insufficient and further weakened by low federal support and outright opposition in some states. </p>
<p>Extreme heat also exacerbates coronavirus threats in multiple ways. Physical distancing complicates public cooling centers for those who don't have, or can't afford to run, air conditioning or are experiencing homelessness — a population likely to increase as temporary eviction suspensions end. Additionally, high heat and humidity can exacerbate respiratory illnesses like COVID-19, and climate change has amplified the intensity, duration and frequency of extreme heat and heat waves.</p>
<p>"What we need is federal action to say no families will be left behind in this crisis," Jean Su, energy justice program director and staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity told Bloomberg. </p>
<p>As reported by National Geographic:</p><blockquote>The United States is facing an unprecedented trifecta: a pandemic, record unemployment, and summer temperatures that are <a href="https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/seasonal.php?lead=2" target="_blank">forecast to be above average in much of the country</a>. It's going to be challenging for local authorities, says Patricia Solís, executive director of the Knowledge Exchange for Resilience at Arizona State University (ASU), a group focused on building community collaboration in times of crisis.</blockquote><blockquote>"We haven't figured out how to handle all this," she says.</blockquote><blockquote>Even though heat is the second leading weather-related cause of death in the U.S., the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers no funding for heat emergencies, leaving cities, counties, and states largely on their own, Solís adds.</blockquote>

The clean energy industry lost 27,000 jobs in May, according to a new analysis of U.S. unemployment data conducted by BW Research Partnership.
<p>The analysis found that while the rate of job losses slowed in May, relative to March and April, the looming end of the Paycheck Protection Program, a federal program to help small businesses retain employees, could cause new rounds of layoffs without further intervention. Nearly one-in-five clean energy workers have lost their job since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. </p>
<p>Though just a small portion of total nationwide job losses, the result has been devastating to an industry that had been growing rapidly. Some of the states hit hardest in May include Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Michigan. The May job losses and PPP expiration "indicates it will be very tough for the clean energy sector to return to its economy-leading jobs growth" without help from Congress or state governments, the analysis said.</p>

Scientists and art historians are studying art for signs of climate change and to better understand the ways Western culture's relationship to nature has been altered by it, according to the BBC.
<p>Scientists have used art to help reconstruct historic weather and climatic conditions, such as the behavior of the Lower Grindelwald Glacier in the Swiss Alps prior to the invention of photography. Over the last 150 years, artists' depictions and use of ice has changed wholesale.</p>
<p>In 1861, Frederic Edwin Church's grand work, <em>The Icebergs,</em> showed humans' fragility in the face of the sublime power of Arctic ice floes. "Later pieces of art," on the other hand, "are about the ice melting because of what we've done to it," according Karl Kusserow, curator of American art at the Princeton University Art Museum. "There's a 180-degree switch from a world that we have no control over, to one in which we are actually controlling the fate of the planet, and recognizing that we're not doing a very good job on it."</p>

The U.K. government has proposed delaying the annual international climate negotiations for a full year after its original date to November 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Democratic party power players and funders, green groups, and Joe Biden's campaign rolled out multiple climate-focused initiatives this week, signaling climate change's likely starring role in the upcoming election despite the coronavirus pandemic.
<p>On Wednesday, Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders each selected representatives to sit on six Democratic "unity" task forces, which will play a key role in shaping the Democratic party platform going forward. The climate change task force will be co-chaired by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Secretary of State John Kerry, <a href="https://newsletter.climatenexus.org/e2t/c/*W1h2ppK2l9W84W7G7dc52SR-5z0/*W1c4_mG4v582YW92hYKh7mm6r90/5/f18dQhb0S9r49jgNBYW42xx9j50RnyCVqB_Kc2M0lPVW1FSlSw2P7_nXVcnTGj97zmB3W1mhW2D4vgKM1W98qRGm5C9jWSW95TS0X1n3hZBW7dDWDs3LjpcWW2Bg_S-1p7-XsW7fK3vz7gzRYtW6PVKcr6N3nBLW8xGZKK95BKTFVdQ_LV7cw-PgW203WCy2yJF1WVYT2jk6P4lCXW3WddQj6Pkt_VW62_rWz4MW8X3W4r1Pm71nq9wrW18T0S-1VJrykW5lX8fq13bD4hW6dkdGm7pxmQxW30gb1-6yG4LQW5KYbRF53Mcj1W31LPR51CWCk7W5YKgfR4y9PsYW4P_Kwj1DRXPFW4d5YZM5Y1s6DW5NFJPF6X0mJ2W4zdzLX75HWLmW1CyjQF2LwfVdV6bcp24Rq_JjW5pqQGT5M8KvhW7vf_1D6y8t2fW83Z7Wz1S6pz3N6yJnfQy9d1KVPFPJw7DtpbNW73R1h2224l-cW1ppZ6W8wtp1vW5L2TmK9bn1WLW7HB7YX2glwqgV10N9F5xftxcW4YvmJJ3sp3J_MH39DfKbhRcW5NqbWh3bqGQXW3tvTfn1wgyzMvVL6QT8pQf6MQD6k02" target="_blank">by far</a> the most high-profile co-chairs of any of the policy task forces.

Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette says that Secretary Steven Mnuchin, pictured, worked with the Federal Reserve to bail out mid-size oil companies.
Two top administration officials, at the direction of President Trump, helped the Federal Reserve alter its lending program intended to bail out small businesses specifically to aid mid-size oil companies, Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette told Bloomberg TV this week.
<p>"Secretary Mnuchin worked very closely with the Federal Reserve ... and made that program available to what we refer to as mid-cap-sized companies," Brouillette said Tuesday. The Fed, which is legally prohibited from targeting specific sectors for relief, denied that it changed the emergency lending program in order to aid the oil sector. Oil and gas companies lobbied the Fed over the first weeks of the pandemic to ease eligibility requirements and use restrictions for the program, and the Fed altered its requirements in late April, a move praised by oil-state lawmakers and the oil and gas industry.</p>

A crossing sign in Red Rock Canyon, Nevada, alerts motorists to the threatened Mojave desert tortoise. tobiasjo / Getty Images
A solar and battery storage project large enough to power the residential population of Las Vegas received final approval from the Department of the Interior on Monday, despite concerns from some conservationists about the project's impact on the threatened Mojave desert tortoise.
<p>The $1 billion project is expected to produce 690 MW of electricity coupled with a 380 megawatt AC battery storage system, enough to power about 260,000 homes and businesses. Located on federal land near Las Vegas, the 7,000-acre project was opposed by local and regional environmental groups, who say construction activity could harm wildlife and biological soil crusts which sequester large amounts of carbon. "The solar industry is resilient and a project like this one will bring jobs and private investment to the state when we need it most," Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, told the AP. </p>

A large coalition of local and nationwide groups launched a campaign this week calling on Dominion to abandon a controversial pipeline ahead of the energy company's annual shareholder meeting today.
<p>The coalition, composed of nearly 80 organizations, argues Dominion is "betray[ing] its duty to shareholders" by continuing to push ahead with construction of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which Dominion now claims will cost $8 billion and begin operations in early 2022. Two separate petitions with thousands of signatures opposing the pipeline were also delivered to Dominion executives today. </p>
