US EditionEPA Rollback: Trump Plans to Remove Federal Limits on Carbon Emissions
The repeal removes the legal basis for greenhouse gas regulations, a move that critics say favors fossil fuels and undermines pollution limits, according to environmental experts.
- At a White House event, President Donald Trump revoked the 2009 EPA endangerment finding, appearing visibly tired on Thursday, Feb. 12.
- Removing that finding effectively revoked the 2009 endangerment finding, the legal basis for U.S. greenhouse-gas regulation, which a former president wrote on X would weaken health and climate protections.
- Records show the 2009 designation concluded fossil-fuel emissions threaten health, attended by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and EPA Director Lee Zeldin.
- The repeal immediately threatens tailpipe emissions limits and power-plant emissions rules, undermining the backbone for legally regulating pollution and risking public-health protections and climate outcomes.
- The decision has prompted clashes between the administration and critics, while national outlets including the Associated Press reported the revocation and White House press coverage.
