In 2009, President Obama’s EPA took a critical step toward protecting our climate by officially acknowledging that greenhouse gases harm public health — a determination called the “Endangerment Finding.” This decision paved the way for regulating emissions, a primary driver of climate change. This finding is supported by an overwhelming scientific consensus and has been upheld in the courts. Yet, in a massive gift to the fossil fuel industry, Trump’s EPA is stripping its own ability to keep us safe from climate-harming pollution. Simply put, they want to take away a key mechanism for fighting climate change. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has described this move as part of “the largest deregulatory action in the history of America.” In reality, it may be the biggest gift to industrial polluters in American history. We won’t let this happen without a legal fight. We are fighting to stop this repeal — and you can join us today to help save this vital climate safeguard. Cartier, it’s critical that we take collective action today to protect the EPA’s ability to regulate climate pollution. Make your gift to power our legal action, and it will be Erin Doran Senior Staff Attorney Food & Water Watch
