On Thursday, the Trump administration postponed a regulation requiring grocery stores to buy climate-friendly models when they purchase new refrigeration systems – an effort to tamp down skyrocketing grocery prices that’s opposed by U.S. manufacturers. POLITICO’s Jean Chemnick breaks down why the administration delayed the rule, if it will actually help lower rising food prices -- and why that move doesn't thrill U.S. manufacturers. Plus, the Interior Department said it generated more than $4 billion in revenue in a major oil and gas lease sale, and a landmark United Nations resolution on whether countries are obligated to address climate change was adopted despite muscular opposition from the United States.

Jean Chemnick covers climate change at EPA and other agencies for E&E News.
