It was called the endangerment finding because it found that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and welfare and thus could be regulated under the Clean Air Act.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With today&#8217;s announcement, the EPA has eliminated that core justification for regulating those emissions. The reversal was set in motion last year, when Zeldin announced\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/epa-revoke-endangerment-finding-regulating-greenhouse-gases\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">plans to repeal the rule<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why is the Trump administration doing this? \u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s team argues that the endangerment finding is unnecessarily expensive and impedes American energy dominance. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Karoline Levitt framed the repeal as a way to lower costs for Americans, saying it would save the public roughly $1.3 trillion in part by making new vehicles cheaper. She estimated average savings of more than $2,400 on a light\u2011duty car, truck or SUV.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Critics say any short-term gains ignore the far larger, longer-term economic costs of unchecked climate pollution. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This action will only lead to more of this pollution, and that will lead to higher costs and real harms for American families,&#8221; said Fred Krupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS News previously reported\u00a0that\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/epa-rule-greenhouse-gas-emissions-gas-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">according to the EPA&#8217;s own data<\/a><\/span>, maintaining Biden-era fuel efficiency and electric vehicle policies would result in lower gas prices than if they were revoked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump has long <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/winter-storm-global-warming-trump-climate-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">dismissed concerns<\/a><\/span> about climate change, calling it a &#8220;hoax&#8221; despite broad scientific consensus about the role of emissions and the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/climate-change-hottest-year-2024-wmo-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">risks of a warming planet<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What is likely to happen next? \u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Legal experts note the 2009 endangerment finding is supported by long-standing science and years of federal court rulings. The Supreme Court has affirmed that greenhouse gases are air pollutants subject to Clean Air Act regulation. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That backdrop makes the Trump administration vulnerable to protracted litigation over whether it can legally erase the government&#8217;s own scientific and statutory conclusions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>John Tobin-de la Puente, a business professor at Cornell University&#8217;s SC Johnson College, says he does not expect companies to make long-term plans based on the Trump administration&#8217;s latest action.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Business operates on a far longer time scale than the four-year cycle of presidential elections, and to rely on the current administration&#8217;s announced action would be imprudent, especially given the substantial likelihood that the next administration will once again regulate carbon emissions,&#8221; he said. \u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__heading-wrapper recirc\">\n<h3 class=\"component__title\">ClimateWatch: Climate Change News &amp; Features<br \/>\n                          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/climate-change\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--lg\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n                More<br \/>\n                <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                  <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n                <\/svg><br \/>\n              <\/a><br \/>\n                      <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-epa-endangerment-finding-greenhouse-gases-climate-change\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The greenhouse gases emitted from sources like cars, trucks and power plants, which are major contributors to climate change, will<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[823,1131,386,7098],"class_list":["post-65075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories","tag-climate-change","tag-environmental-protection-agency","tag-trump-administration","tag-united-states-environmental-protection-agency"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trump&#039;s EPA is revoking the &quot;endangerment finding&quot; on greenhouse gases.
