The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed revoking its authority to regulate climate pollutants. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine reviewed the latest evidence on greenhouse gas emissions' impact. Republican leaders of the House Science Committee questioned the review's 'formation, funding and expedited timeline'.
