Trump EPA repeals scientific finding underpinning US climate policy

chicago.suntimes.com

The Trump administration is set to revoke a key scientific finding that underpins U.S. climate change policy and greenhouse gas regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency will rescind the 2009 endangerment finding, which declared that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare. This action is expected to be the largest deregulatory move in U.S. history. This repeal is anticipated to face significant legal challenges from environmental groups, who argue it abandons federal responsibility to address climate change and its impacts.
