cjel-3735	Burger, Michael	A Carbon Fee as Mitigation for Fossil Fuel Extraction on Federal Lands	2019	57	.pdf	application/pdf	22804	1022	47	In the United States, climate change impacts—including increased average temperatures and heat waves, increased frequency and severity of extreme storm events, sea level rise, and ocean acidification—pose numerous risks across many sectors, including but not limited to increased heat- related illnesses and deaths, dirtier air, damaged and disappearing coastlines, longer droughts, strains on water quantity and quality, increasingly frequent and severe floods and wildfires, invasive species, thawing permafrost, and degraded fisheries and ecosystems.2 Public lands managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior (“DOI” or “Interior”), through the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”), share these risks, which threaten the environmental, economic, scientific, recreational, and other uses to which our public lands are put.3 1. Order No. 3338 specifically calls on the Programmatic EIS to consider “the climate impacts of continued Federal coal production and combustion and how to address those impacts in the management of the program to meet both the Nation’s energy needs and its climate goals, as well as how best to protect the public lands from climate change impacts.	cache/cjel-3735.pdf	txt/cjel-3735.txt
