EPA to abolish US Government authority to regulate greenhouse gases

The Trump administration plans to announce a proposal to eliminate the U.S. government's authority to regulate greenhouse gases. This proposal could remove essential regulations limiting emissions from various industries, including power plants and automobiles.

Environmentalists warn that reversing the endangerment finding would contradict scientific consensus on climate change and could worsen the crisis. Diane Pataki, National Wildlife Federation's chief scientist, stated, "The endangerment finding is based on decades of established, proven scientific evidence."

The move faces division among energy businesses and Trump allies, with some concerned it may detract from other regulatory priorities. Formal rulemaking processes are expected, and potential legal challenges could arise if the measure is finalized.
