Newsom and California Sue Trump Administration Again, This Time Over Greenhouse Gas Emissions
"We're talking about people's lives here, Earth Justice senior attorney Marvin Brown told KPIX. Not just the lives of people here today but thinking about future generations that are going to be affected by the actions we take today."
""I tell them don't worry about it because it has nothing to do with public health," Trump said, quoted by KPIX. "This was all a scam.""
California filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency to preserve state greenhouse gas emission standards following federal rollbacks. Governor Gavin Newsom has frequently used litigation as a primary tool to challenge federal environmental policy and to defend state regulatory authority. The lawsuit is being handled by Earth Justice and seeks to maintain emissions limits and protections intended to protect current and future public health. The Trump administration publicly dismissed climate concerns as unrelated to public health and labeled them a scam. California laws requiring 100% renewable or carbon-free electricity may partially shield the state despite federal regulatory changes.
