EPA, climate change and Trump administration

EPA chief Zeldin announced plans to rescind the country's biggest tool to fight climate change. Environmental advocates call it a direct assault.
On Tuesday the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its proposal to undo its long-standing rationale and legal mandate to regulate greenhouse gases under the decades-old Clean Air Act—part of the Trump administration’s wide-ranging campaign to dismantle federal efforts to combat climate change.
Experts say the EPA's move to reverse the endangerment finding is dangerous for the nation. But California may have tools to weather the storm.
The proposal would overturn endangerment finding, which determined that greenhouse gas emissions can be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
The US Environmental Protection Agency is considering scrapping a landmark almost two-decade old legal opinion that greenhouse gas emissions are harmful to human health, the Washington Post reported.
