EPA Kills Climate Rules - Revokes Greenhouse Gas Finding
📰 What Happened
The EPA has cancelled a key scientific report about greenhouse gases. This report was done in 2009 and said that gases like carbon dioxide harm people and the planet. The report was the basis for all rules about controlling pollution from cars, power plants, and factories. The Trump administration says the report was legally wrong.
💡 Why It Matters
This change could end most federal rules that limit pollution from greenhouse gases. It affects every American because it changes how the government protects air quality and fights climate change. The EPA is hoping the Supreme Court will agree with this new direction and overturn an old court ruling from 2007.
🔮 What Happens Next
Environmental groups will likely file lawsuits to stop this change. The legal fight will probably go all the way to the Supreme Court, which could take several years to resolve.
