The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced its decision to formally reconsider a 2009 landmark finding that deemed greenhouse gases a danger to the public’s health and welfare.
This move is part of a larger effort by the agency to roll back environmental regulations, including rules governing pollution from coal-fired power plants and electric vehicles. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin emphasized this shift in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, stating, “We are driving a dagger through the heart of the climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age.”
The 2009 finding served as a crucial basis for the United States’ efforts to combat climate change. It was made under the Clean Air Act and provides legal justification for regulations aimed at reducing pollution from vehicles and other sources.
Environmental organizations have swiftly criticized this policy reversal, expressing concerns that it will be met with legal challenges. “In the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, it is difficult to envision an alternative finding by the EPA that would hold up in court,” said David Doniger, a climate expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
This decision comes amidst ongoing controversy and debate surrounding environmental policy in the United States.
