Trump Administration Revokes Key Climate Regulation, Igniting Controversy
Originally: Trump news at a glance: White House rejects climate science and opens door to more pollution
The Trump administration has revoked the endangerment finding that allowed the EPA to regulate climate-heating pollution, a move criticized as benefiting wealthy polluters at the expense of public health. This decision eliminates requirements for tracking and limiting emissions from major sources like vehicles and power plants, which are significant contributors to climate pollution in the US. Environmental advocates, including California's governor, have condemned the rollback and plan to challenge it legally, citing potential increases in climate-related disasters.
