Trump EPA moves to repeal landmark 'endangerment finding' that allows climate regulation
President Donald Trumpβs administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.
"The 'endangerment finding' is the legal underpinning of a host of climate regulations under the Clean Air Act for motor vehicles, power plants and other pollution sources that are heating the planet."
Trump's EPA is trying to give free rein to polluters to destroy our planet for profit.

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work
A new Department of Energy report βfundamentally misrepresentsβ climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.
"It [the DOE's climate report] reads like a blog postβa somewhat scattershot collection of oft-debunked skeptic claims, studies taken out of context, or cherry-picked examples that are not representative of broader climate science research findings."

Trumpβs latest plan to undo the βholy grailβ of climate rules: Never mind the science
The administrationβs approach, led by White House and Justice Department officials, would focus on a legal rather than a scientific rationale for repealing the so-called endangerment finding.
"The effort to repeal the endangerment finding, if successful, would represent President Donald Trumpβs most sweeping attempt to dismantle climate change policies."
This would be an absolutely catastrophic decision that would put millions of lives in jeopardy all while Big Oil gets even richer.
