Trump Administration Seeks to Revoke Key Climate Change Regulation | JQJO

The Trump administration proposed revoking the 2009 endangerment finding, a key legal basis for US climate regulations. This EPA rule change, championed by Administrator Lee Zeldin, would rescind the declaration that greenhouse gases endanger public health. Zeldin described it as the largest deregulation in US history, aiming to roll back numerous environmental rules. Critics, including former EPA leaders, argue this action endangers public health and would likely face legal challenges due to a 2007 Supreme Court ruling affirming EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gases. Environmental groups strongly oppose the proposal, deeming it a significant setback in climate change mitigation.
