Federal agencies must 'take a hard look' at the impact of oil and gas drilling on climate change, a federal judge has ruled

The administration is considering a plan that would open nearly the entire US coastline to offshore drilling, and last week changed protections for the sage grouse that could open up more of the Western US to drilling.
