The endangerment finding is a key document underpinning U.S. climate regulations, concluding that greenhouse gas emissions threaten human health. EPA Administrator Zeldin's move to eliminate it may have complex repercussions. Originating from a 2007 Supreme Court ruling, the finding established a regulatory duty for the EPA under the Clean Air Act. Revoking it, while a goal for the Trump administration, is fraught with challenges and could undermine both environmental safeguards and economic sectors dependent on regulation.
The endangerment finding is essential to U.S. climate regulations, stating that greenhouse gases significantly threaten public health. Revoking it poses hazards for both environmental and industrial sectors.
Eliminating the endangerment finding is not merely a policy change; it could destabilize the climate regulatory framework built over years, potentially harming the very industries it aims to assist.
