Keystone XL Backers Could Derail 1 Million Jobs

Friends of Big Oil have been making a habit in this session of Congress of threatening to scuttle “must pass” legislation in order to hasten construction of the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline. In June, yet another special interest showdown is looming as Congress takes one more stab at passing a bipartisan transportation bill that enjoys supermajority support in the Senate. At stake are than one million jobs the bill is estimated to create.

GAME CHANGERS: Air Pollution, a Warming Climate, and the Troubled Future for America’s Hunting and Fishing Heritage

This report puts a spotlight on 10 species of American wildlife that hold a special place in the hearts of conservationists, and that are battling some of most difficult challenges in the natural world. These fish, birds, and mammals are not alone, however. Behind each of these icons are many more that face a troubling future due to toxic air pollution and rising temperatures. Those modern threats will change the game for American hunters and anglers—–unless conservationists and the sporting public stand up to fight for clean air and an end to the pollution that leads to a warming climate.

National Wildlife Federation Opposes the TRAIN Act Letter

On behalf of the National Wildlife Federation, and our over 4 million members and supporters nationwide, I urge you to oppose the “Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation (TRAIN) Act of 2011 (H.R. 2401) and any amendments that would further restrict the Clean Air Act from protecting public health and wildlife. The bill would further delay fundamental clean air protections, undermining our ability as a nation to protect public health and the environment. Specifically, the TRAIN Act would indefinitely delay implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recently finalized Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and proposed Utility Air Toxics Rule, undermining long-overdue actions under the Clean Air Act to clean-up the nation’s biggest polluters.

Reid Stands Tall Against the ‘House that Polluters Bought’

April 7, 2011 (Washington, DC) – House budget negotiators are threatening to shut down the government because the Senate and President Obama refuse to cave in to a list of polluter favors that would open loopholes in the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. Yesterday, Senators soundly defeated a series of amendments attacking the Clean Air Act yesterday as part of a debate on small business legislation. The House is staging a vote today on Rep. Fred Upton’s (R-MI) legislation, HR 910, to show their continued support for oil companies and other corporate polluters. The bill is expected to pass along largely partisan lines.

Highlights effects of pollution on 10 U.S. wildlife species important to hunters and anglers. More regions are witnessing warnings about mercury-laced favorites like brown trout, walleye, and largemouth bass. Remote forests, lakes, and streams are being degraded by acid rain. Ozone now makes some sensitive plants more prone to disease and less able to produce and store food. Climate change is resulting in a massive loss of fish spawning sites and higher summertime temperatures disrupt wildlife patterns and ecological balance.

Fact Sheet: Mercury Pollution from Coal-fired Power Plants

A Dangerous Threat to People and Wildlife: Mercury pollution is a serious problem across the nation. Every state in America has issued health advisories warning people to limit or avoid eating certain species of fish due to toxic mercury contamination, many of which cover every water body in the state. Coal-fired power plants are by far the largest source of mercury pollution in America, placing our public health and wildlife at grave risk. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is poised to take action to reduce this dangerous threat to current and future generations of people and wildlife.

Dirty Air Act: Red Herrings Down on the Farm

Since 1970, the Clean Air Act has protected America’s public health and environment from harmful pollution while ensuring our economy is strengthened. As a result of the law, since 1990 that causes acid rain, asthma, developmental problems, and premature deaths has dropped 41% while our economy has grown 64%. Despite this sterling track record, big polluters are attacking the Act and urging their allies in Congress to give them free rein to dump carbon pollution into the air. Special interests like the American Farm Bureau Federation are among those spreading erroneous claims that limiting carbon pollution will result in undo intrusions and government oversight of farms. Such claims are baseless, protect polluters, and put the public health at risk.

Another Dirty Air Act: CAA Delay Defense Factsheet

National Wildlife Federation strongly urges Congress to reject any attempt to delay or derail EPA’s work to crack down on global warming pollution. For decades Big Oil and corporate polluters have enjoyed free rein to dump global warming pollution into our air. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in the process of taking commonsense steps to crack down on these polluters. Now, some in Congress are coming to the defense of the oil industry and other corporate polluters with proposals to interfere with EPA setting global warming pollution reduction standards. Members of the House and Senate have offered legislation1 that will delay enforcement of the Clean Air Act and continue to send clean energy jobs overseas at a time when we should be creating them here at home and putting Americans back to work.

18 Years and Counting: Senate Inaction Allows Big Polluters Unlimited Increase in Global Warming Pollution

In 1992, the U.S. Senate ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The treaty directs countries such as the U.S. to take actions to reduce their emissions of global warming pollutants. Since endorsing the treaty almost eighteen years ago, the Senate has failed to take further action and allowed big polluters to increase their global warming pollution unabated. As a result, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions have increased by over 16% from 1992 to 2007.

National Wildlife Federation - Senate on Brink of Climate Failure

Washington, DC (July 22, 2010) – Senate Democratic leaders today announced they would again postpone their effort to enact serious climate legislation. Larry Schweiger, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation said: “As a result of continued obstruction from every Republican Senator and a few Democratic Senators, the Senate is now on the brink of a colossal failure. This failure amounts to letting polluters off the hook while jeopardizing wildlife and our children's future. While there is still time for the Senate to act on climate change, we have lost confidence that there is the political will to overcome the oil lobby.

Corn Ethanol and Wildlife

Government incentives have led to skyrocketing growth in the U.S. corn ethanol industry over the past fi ve years. This has contributed to major increases in corn prices and corn demand, ultimately resulting in increased corn plantings across the country. Total U.S. corn acreage increased 19 percent between 2006 and 2007, to a level not seen since the Dust Bowl. Though plantings decreased slightly in 2008, they remain higher than at any point in the last fi fty years. About one-third of the nation’s corn crop is now diverted to ethanol plants. Farmers have shifted land into corn production from other crops, idle agricultural land, and native prairie, thereby causing wildlife habitat loss and degradation. Given that current legislation mandates increases in corn ethanol production through 2015, these patterns are likely to continue.
