EPA rescinds landmark 2009 'endangerment finding' on greenhouse gases' harmful effect on climate

The Environmental Protection Agency has walked back a landmark environmental decision to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

Calling it "the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history," the EPA announced Thursday that it was "eliminating both the Obama-era 2009 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Endangerment Finding and all subsequent federal GHG emission standards for all vehicles and engines of model years 2012 to 2027 and beyond."

For more than 16 years, the EPA’s endangerment finding served as the scientific and legal foundation for federal regulations on carbon dioxide and five other heat-trapping greenhouse gases. The 2009 decision found that certain greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. The regulations that resulted cover everything from vehicle tailpipe emissions to the release of greenhouse gases from power plants and other significant emission sources.

President Donald Trump made the announcement at the White House, alongside EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

“The Endangerment Finding has been the source of 16 years of consumer choice restrictions and trillions of dollars in hidden costs for Americans,” Zeldin said in a statement after the announcement. "The Trump EPA is strictly following the letter of the law, returning commonsense to policy, delivering consumer choice to Americans and advancing the American Dream."

2. Depressing and fucking stupid....they put economic gains for fossil fuel companies.....

over the health of not only Americans but the entire world. Do these morons not care about their own children, the air, sea levels or the animals of the world?

The ignorance of the American voter is hard to believe.

Not once the price goes up 1000%

But I understand Republicans can burn long enough for at least a couple of marshmallows.

5. All is not lost ... perhaps...

If the EPA won’t regulate greenhouse gas emissions then it cannot stop individual states from setting their own GHG emissions standards.
