Update. It's happening. Tomorrow the #Trump #EPA will repeal the 2009 finding that greenhouse gases endanger human health. That "endangerment" finding allowed the EPA to regulate carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act. Its repeal will pave the way for the repeal of those regulations.

" #EPA drafts rule to strike down landmark climate finding."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/07/22/endangerment-finding-epa-climate/

"The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to rescind a landmark 2009 legal opinion that greenhouse gas emissions put human health at risk, which underpins many of the government’s actions to combat #climate change…A decision to completely rescind the endangerment finding is still a draft proposal and could be subject to change…The draft would also eliminate all resulting limits on motor vehicle greenhouse gas emissions."

'Poisons everything it touches': Industry 'cronies' at Trump's EPA approve toxic chemical
