The article discusses the Trump administration's significant deregulation efforts led by EPA head Lee Zeldin, who has made 31 changes purportedly to combat climate-related costs. Key rollbacks include limits on emissions from power plants and revisions to air quality standards. These actions contradict decades of scientific evidence on environmental risks and may face public backlash, as studies indicate that most Americans favor environmental regulations. The administration is attempting to redefine the climate conversation, claiming that increased pollution directly benefits American families and jobs.
Trump's appointed EPA head Lee Zeldin announced 31 regulatory changes - allegedly the 'biggest deregulatory action in US history' - in an apparent effort to maximize pollution.
The Trump administration has declared war on decades of scientific evidence warning of an environmental and climate crisis that's already hitting.
'We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families,' Zeldin said.
According to a recent update to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, most Americans support at least some environmental regulation, which could lead to unpopularity for these rollbacks.
