Climate groups and a coalition of young Americans are fighting back against the Trump administration's repeal of the "endangerment finding."
“Over a dozen young Americans as well as a coalition of environmental and public health groups on Wednesday filed a pair of legal challenges against President Donald Trump’s administration for repealing the “endangerment finding” that enabled federal policies aimed at combating the fossil fuel-driven climate emergency.
“Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the long-anticipated move last week. The coalition of groups responded with a petition at the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that names him and the EPA.
“”The endangerment finding has been the backbone of climate policy for 17 years, protecting us from air pollution that endangers public health and welfare—including greenhouse gases that are driving climate change,” explained Lawrence Hafetz, legal director at Clean Air Council, one of the groups behind the case, in a statement.”
