1m
President Donald Trump’s administration repealed the EPA’s 2009 "endangerment finding," erasing the legal basis for federal greenhouse-gas limits in the United States.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

🤯🤯🤯 Full-on denial of reality.
State capture by the fossil fuel lobby.
The US descends into a banana republic. It would almost be funny if the consequences wouldn’t be so dire for billions of humans, if the courts don’t stop this folly soon.

One major rule anchored U.S. climate policy. The EPA just threw it out
The Trump administration rescinded the 2009 “endangerment finding,” ending regulation of greenhouse gases from cars and trucks

Trump says climate change doesn’t endanger public health – evidence shows it does, from extreme heat to mosquito-borne illnesses
Climate change is making people sicker and more vulnerable to disease. Erasing the federal endangerment finding increases the risk.

The science is clear. The stakes are real.
AGU condemns the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding — a decision that rejects the overwhelming evidence and undermines climate accountability.
We will continue to defend science and advocate for evidence-based policy.

The Trump administration repealed a scientific finding?
Yeah... that's not how science works. Reality doesn't care in the slightest about a crumbling nation's final hallucinations.

EPA abandoned the DOE CWG report in the Endangerment Finding revocation.
It makes sense, though. It would have been destroyed in court. They violated so many rules in the production of that report.
Also, the May draft was never publicly released, so that’s also a big problem.

From FN 8. "...in light of concerns raised by some commenters about the draft report authored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Climate Working Group (CWG), the EPA is not relying on the May 27, 2025 CWG draft report"

Blocking the EPA from limiting the pollution causing global heating is an unhinged, psychopathic act of grift, arson, scientific and economic sabotage.
But it's just the latest in a decades long effort by the vast majority of elected leaders to sell you off to the Big Oil CEOs who them 🧵
