The article discusses the EPA's strategy to potentially revoke the climate endangerment finding, a critical basis for U.S. climate regulations. Experts believe the EPA may challenge the necessity of regulating greenhouse gas emissions by questioning the contributions of sectors to overall climate pollution. This move could dismantle existing climate regulations and complicate future attempts to address climate change, as resuscitating the scientific finding would be required before enforcing new regulations. This strategy reflects a broader push towards deregulation under the Trump administration, posing significant implications for environmental policy.
Experts said EPA may be betting that it can upend the scientific finding which paved the way for the nation's rules on climate pollution on cars, power plants, and across other sectors.
They may also try to redefine how air pollution can harm the public a necessary predicate for regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
