NEW: Trump administration is moving to change a landmark environmental law that could limit how much climate change is considered in government projects.
January 9, 2020, 4:09 PMThe last decade has brought more attention to climate change and other issues.The Trump administration is moving to change a landmark environmental law that could limit how much climate change is considered in government projects, a move advocates say could make it harder for the public to register concerns about pipelines and other infrastructure projects.
The Trump administration argues that broadly evaluating the environmental impact takes too long and can result in unwieldy reports. The proposed change aims to speed up environmental reviews and could make it more difficult to consider a project’s impact on climate change, or how the project could be altered by the affects of climate change.
"Nothing in the proposal would eliminate or diminish the protections that Congress has enacted to safeguard the environment and the American people," said Mary Neumayr, chair of the Council for Environmental Quality that oversees NEPA.
