EPA Denies Link Between Fossil Fuels and Climate Change | JQJO

The Trump administration's EPA proposed a rule claiming fossil fuel plant emissions don't significantly contribute to dangerous air pollution. This assertion was refuted by 19 out of 30 consulted climate scientists, who deemed the proposal scientifically inaccurate and misleading. Experts likened the claim to denying links between smoking and lung cancer or arsenic and toxicity. They highlighted the established connection between CO2 emissions and global warming, citing significant health and economic consequences from climate change driven by these emissions.
