White House calls it historic deregulation; scientists and states prepare legal fight.
Trump to repeal Endangerment Finding on greenhouse gases will be the centerpiece of a major regulatory rollback expected Thursday, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who described the decision as “the biggest deregulation action in American history.”
The administration argues the measure will lower costs for Americans and remove regulatory pressure on industries tied to energy and transportation. The announcement comes as the administration continues reshaping federal environmental policy in its second term.
The Trump to repeal Endangerment Finding on greenhouse gases decision targets a cornerstone of U.S. climate regulation. The Endangerment Finding, adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2009 under former President Barack Obama, concluded that six greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and must therefore be regulated under federal law.
That determination became the legal foundation for multiple federal rules limiting emissions from vehicles, power plants and other industrial sources. The gases covered include carbon dioxide and methane, both major contributors to global warming linked to fossil fuel combustion.
Environmental scientists and advocacy groups have sharply criticized the move and are preparing legal challenges. Dan Becker of the Center for Biological Diversity said the decision risks undermining decades of climate research and regulatory action.
Opposition from Democratic-led states was immediate. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers released a joint statement calling the rollback illegal and scientifically unfounded, pledging to continue legal and regulatory efforts to maintain pollution controls. “We will keep fighting to protect Americans from pollution,” the governors said.
Legal analysts note that repealing the Endangerment Finding could allow the administration to dismantle multiple existing climate regulations, particularly those affecting power generation and heavy industry. The move could also reshape federal authority over emissions standards nationwide.
