California is challenging the Trump administration's rollback of emissions standards for vehicles, asserting this undermines decades of scientific research on public health. The U.S. EPA's proposed changes also aim to reverse the 'endangerment finding' critical to regulating harmful greenhouse gas emissions. California has made significant strides in reducing pollution, with greenhouse gas emissions down 20% since 2000, while the GDP saw a 78% increase. The state achieved a major milestone by utilizing two-thirds clean energy in 2023, and has committed to addressing climate change proactively through various initiatives.
"Americans deserve the truth from their federal government about the climate crisis. No amount of burying research or firing scientists will change the facts: Greenhouse gas pollution causes climate change and endangers our health and welfare - period."
"California is taking action to protect against harmful climate pollutants, including methane. Earlier this year, the state launched a satellite project to detect and reduce dangerous methane leaks."
