Environment

A seawall, which will be increased in size, is shown along the banks near downtown Thursday, July 26, 2018, in Port Arthur, Texas.  The oil industry wants the government to help protect some of its facilities on the Texas Gulf Coast against the effects of global warming. One proposal involves building a nearly 60-mile “spine” of flood barriers to shield refineries and chemical plants. Many Republicans argue that such projects should be a national priority. But others question whether taxpayers should have to protect refineries in a state where top politicians still dispute whether climate change is real. (David J. Phillip/AP Photo)
