CNN — Several climate and conservation groups are suing the US Department of the Interior to get more information about the department’s November review of its oil and gas leasing program – a report that was widely criticized for sidestepping the program’s impact on the climate crisis.
Represented by the Western Environmental Law Center, the groups – Montana Environmental Information Center, Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians – filed multiple Freedom of Information Act requests last year to access correspondence between federal officials on the drafting of the report.
