I know that またしても means "again, moreover, in addition" and it often comes with
relative nuance. However, given the below sentences, I don't know why it's
only proper in a sentence but not both.

> 1/ **またしても** 、政治家の金に関する問題が明らかになった。
>
> 2/ 強すぎる冷暖房は体に良くないし、 **またしても** 、環境にも悪い。

The correct answer is 1.

How to use またしても?
[またしても](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/srch/thsrs/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%9F%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82/m0u/)
and the related
[またまた](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%9F%E3%81%BE%E3%81%9F) can
be translated as "once again" which makes these two examples clear on the
usage.

> 1/ またしても、政治家の金に関する問題が明らかになった。

Once again, problems involving politician's money has come to light. <--
correct

> 2/ 強すぎる冷暖房は体に良くないし、またしても、環境にも悪い。

Not only is over-powered air conditioning not good for your body, once again
(??), it is also bad for the environment. <-- not correct

I think the question is trying to get at the nuance difference between
またしても/またまた(once again) and just
[また](http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E3%81%BE%E3%81%9F) ('moreover' or 'also').

> 1) 「 **またしても** 、[政治家]{せいじか}の[金]{かね}に[関]{かん}する[問題]{もんだい}が[明]{あき}らかになった。」
>
> 2) 「[強]{つよ}すぎる[冷暖房]{れいだんぼう}は[体]{からだ}に[良]{よ}くないし、 **またしても**
> 、[環境]{かんきょう}にも[悪]{わる}い。」

「またしても」 is an emphatic way of saying 「また」("again"). To use it correctly, you
must have a situation where the same or a similar event has occured **_once
again_**. In addition, 「またしても」 is usually, if not always, used when something
undesirable has happened again.

Sentence #1 is perfect as it is about the reccurance of a money scandal by a
politician - an undesirable event happening once again. It is just 100%
correct and natural.

Sentence #2 makes little sense. Why? Because first of all, nothing is
happening once again in the sentence, is it? It is "trying" to say that
excessive use of air-conditioning is bad for your body as well as for the
environment. It is using 「またしても」 to mean something like "in addition to that"
or "moreover" when it just does not have those meanings.

In Sentence #2, 「またしても」 should be replaced by a simple 「また」 to make sense. In
that case, 「また」 means "moreover" and **_not_** "again".
