The Trump administration aims to revoke the 2009 Environmental Protection Agency 'endangerment finding', which allows regulation of greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide and methane under the Clean Air Act. This move could significantly shift the federal government's approach toward climate change. The proposal is under review by the White House, facing pushback from environmentalists and advocates. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin hailed the change as a significant deregulation effort that could boost the economy. Repealing this finding would complicate future administrations' climate action efforts.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin stated, "Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen. We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more."
The Trump administration's effort comes in the wake of the hottest year humans have ever recorded on Earth, raising concerns about climate-fueled wildfires and hotter ocean temperatures.
