Overview
US climate regulation is facing a major legal and policy inflection point after President Donald Trump revoked the EPA’s 2009 “endangerment finding,” a foundational determination that greenhouse gases threaten human health and therefore trigger federal regulation. The move is framed by supporters as a cost-saving rollback, while observers expect significant litigation and uncertainty over the durability of emissions rules affecting vehicles, power plants and industrial sources.
