greenhouse gas

Montana is set to receive $50 million in grant funding that will go toward a forestry and agricultural project that would reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 15 million metric tons through 2050.

Republican attorney generals from 21 states argue that federal agencies lack the authority to compel states to set on-road emission reduction targets.

The bill would prevent the state from considering greenhouse gas emissions or their potential impacts on climate change when doing an environmental review on a proposed project.
