'Scientists who document the evidence for harm and health professionals who treat the harm are now speaking out with one voice,' said ssteingraber1, who spearheaded a letter calling on Schumer and Pelosi to ditch Manchin's dirty deal.
according to, the legislation"is on life support" given Republicans are backing an alternate bill led by Sen. Shelley Moore Capito , she is alsosupportive of Manchin's version and Schumer—who secured the right-wing Democrat's vote for the Inflation Reduction Act by promising to push through permitting reforms—plans to pair the"dirty deal" measure with a funding resolution that must pass this month to avert a government shutdown.
The letter was spearheaded by Sandra Steingraber of the Science and Environmental Health Network and circulated with help from the advocacy group Food & Water Watch—whose executive director, Wenonah Hauter,Wednesday that the Manchin bill"is little more than a shameless handout to the fossil fuel industry—a green light for oil and gas companies to keep on digging, drilling, fracking, and polluting.
"Having spent more than 50 years working to protect children against health threats in the environment, I feel compelled to speak out against any political deal that would expose them to decades more pollution from fossil fuels," explained Landrigan, a pediatrician and director of a pair of programs at Boston College.
"We cannot sit by idly and watch our government advance policies that will quite literally fan the flames of the climate crisis, which is already threatening humanity," the experts wrote to Pelosi and Schumer."You both have spoken eloquently about climate change and the need for bold action. We have heard you affirm the necessity of science for policymaking and the importance of listening to scientists for guidance.
