The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to reverse its scientific determination that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health, removing the legal foundation that underpins all major climate regulations,

Donald Trump is coming for the “ holy grail ” of climate regulations. As multiple media outlets reported this week, the administration plans to roll back the “ endangerment finding ,” an Obama-era Environmental Protection Agency decision at the center of the government’s ability to address climate change.

The Trump administration wants to reverse a 2009 EPA finding that greenhouse gases endanger people. The finding is the basis for much of the United States' climate change regulations.
