US EditionTrump Environmental Protection Agency moves to repeal finding that allows climate regulation
UNITED STATES, JUL 29 – The EPA under Lee Zeldin plans to repeal the 2009 endangerment finding, potentially eliminating key climate regulations that target the largest U.S. greenhouse gas source, transportation, officials said.
- On Tuesday in Indiana, Lee Zeldin, head of the EPA, revealed plans to overturn the 2009 finding that underpins U.S. climate change regulations.
- This proposal follows a March executive order by President Trump directing the EPA to review the finding as part of broader environmental rollbacks.
- Zeldin’s plan would roll back or repeal 31 key environmental rules affecting clean air, clean water, and climate change, including limits on emissions from cars and power plants.
- Peter Zalzal of the Environmental Defense Fund argued that undermining these protections contradicts the EPA’s duty to safeguard public health, while Lee Zeldin described the rollback as the most significant deregulation effort in U.S. history.
- If finalized, the repeal would erase foundational climate protections, potentially blocking future administrations from regulating greenhouse gases and challenging the EPA’s dual mission to protect health and environment.
