    The Supreme Court effectively compelled the EPA to asses the impact of greenhouse gases in 2007 when it affirmed the agency’s authority
    to regulate them as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.

    Today, Trump 2.0's EPA proposes revoking pollution limits

    Based in part on a hastily produced report — authored by five researchers who have spent years sowing doubt in the scientific consensus around climate change — that questions the severity of the impacts of climate change, the Trump administration on Tuesday proposed to repeal a 2009 scientific finding that human-caused climate change endangers human health and safety, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced. If successful, the repeal could strip away the federal government’s most powerful way to control the country’s planet-warming pollution and fight climate change.

    The 2009 scientific finding at the heart of this repeal has served as the basis of many of the Environmental Protection Agency’s most significant regulations to protect human health and environment, and decrease climate pollution from cars, power plants and the oil and gas industry.

    In addition to reversing the endangerment finding, the EPA’s proposal also seeks to repeal rules that regulate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, since they stem from the finding. The Biden EPA sought to tighten those standards to prod the auto industry to make more fuel-efficient hybrids and electric vehicles.

    my 2 cents, this proposal will find the same fate as Trump 1.0's effort to repeal the ACA

    It's all about coddling to the fossil fuel industry, who pay him to do their bidding. It's never about science or health when it comes to Trump. It's about money. Trump looks for those 1 percenters who defy scientific and health studies to come up with their quackery and carefully hen pecked points to justify their decisions, while leaving out the the overwhelming majority of research, studies, and facts that exist.

    The only truth is what Trump says is truth.
    - MAGA

    By eliminating these oppressive regulations and environmental red tape, President Trump is taking the boot off the neck of businesses all over the country. This action allows CONSUMERS to obtain low-cost energy. Another promise kept -- lowering inflation and lower energy costs for the working class.

    Clean air and clean water will not be impacted by these actions.


    GOOD DAY

    That's a flat out lie and you know it. There's a reason Cancer Alleys are called what they are.
