The Trump administration is reevaluating the official stance that greenhouse gases threaten public health, potentially undermining essential US climate laws. The EPA announced this reconsideration along with multiple pollution rule rollbacks, including the 2009 endangerment finding essential for regulating harmful emissions like carbon dioxide. Despite scientific consensus on the negative impacts of climate change, Trump has downplayed its significance. EPA's Lee Zeldin stated the move represents a historic deregulation effort aimed at promoting economic growth over environmental concerns, eliciting significant backlash from environmentalists who vow to protect climate regulation through legal means.
The Environmental Protection Agency's reconsideration of the endangerment finding could dismantle foundational laws aimed at reducing pollution, contradicting extensive scientific evidence of climate change.
Lee Zeldin claimed that the reconsideration of greenhouse gas regulations would end a progressive agenda that obstructs industry while questioning the scientific consensus on climate change.
