President Donald Trump once again moved to roll back the clock on Thursday, announcing the Environmental Protection Agency would move to rescind the landmark endangerment finding.
The Obama-era rule cleared the way for regulating polluting and planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, and confirmed that the fossil fuel industry’s emissions endangered peoples’ health. Reversing the 2009 finding will remove emissions standards designed to protect Americans and the environment, as well as contribute to a continued rise in global temperature that's resulted in more extreme climate impacts and a species extinction crisis.
