A coalition of public health and environmental groups has just filed a lawsuit against EPA in the DC Circuit court challenging revocation of the greenhouse gas endangerment finding. They are represented by some of the country's leading environmental litigators. aboutblaw.com/bkXr

Today, @ucs.org joins @earthjustice.org and others challenging the Trump Administration's Endangerment Finding repeal.

These moves abandon the EPA's mission to protect people’s health and its legal obligation under the Clean Air Act and they must be held to account. www.ucs.org/about/news/u...

Tailpipe emission standards were slashed along with the scientific basis for regulating them.

The Regulatory Review

@theregreview.bsky.social

Last week, the EPA overturned its 2009 finding that vehicle greenhouse gases endanger public health. Daniel Farber of UC Berkeley Law contends that this position is hard to square with Massachusetts v. EPA, which held that the EPA can regulate GHGs as “air pollutants.”

EPA’s decision to retreat from regulating greenhouse gas emissions runs contrary to law.
