The Environmental Protection Agency has repealed the Endangerment Finding, a crucial assessment from the Obama era that deemed greenhouse gases a threat to public health and welfare. This decision is expected to lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions and has raised concerns among public health and environmental groups about its potential impact on climate change and public health.

The Trump administration has revoked the endangerment finding that allowed the EPA to regulate climate-heating pollution, a move criticized as benefiting wealthy polluters at the expense of public health. This decision eliminates requirements for tracking and limiting emissions from major sources like vehicles and power plants, which are significant contributors to climate pollution in the US.

The Trump administration has revoked the Environmental Protection Agency's 2009 endangerment finding, which classified greenhouse gases as a threat to public health. During the announcement, President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin made several false claims regarding the scientific basis of the finding and the implications for energy policy.

President Trump has revoked the 2009 endangerment finding that classified certain greenhouse gases as a threat to public health, a move described as the largest deregulation in U.S. history.

The Trump administration is set to formally eliminate the US government's role in regulating greenhouse gas pollution by revoking a 17-year-old scientific finding that deemed these gases a threat to public health. This move, led by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, will dismantle legal authority under the Clean Air Act and is expected to face challenges from climate advocates and Democrat-led states.
