The Trump administration has revoked the 2009 endangerment finding that formed the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions, a move experts call the most aggressive attack on U.S. climate action in history. This reckless decision imperils public health, undermines scientific integrity, and abandons our moral duty to protect future generations from catastrophic climate disasters.
President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin repealed the 2009 endangerment finding that classified greenhouse gases as a threat to public health, eliminating the legal foundation for federal climate regulations. This reckless assault on environmental protections sacrifices our children's future for short-term corporate profits and represents a catastrophic betrayal of our constitutional duty to protect public health and preserve our planet.
Seventeen public health and environmental groups filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration's repeal of the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, arguing the agency is legally required to do so under the Clean Air Act. This dangerous abdication of responsibility threatens public health, betrays our constitutional duty to protect citizens, and recklessly ignores the settled law established to safeguard our nation from the existential crisis of climate change.
