EPA Kills Climate Rules - Revokes Science Finding
📰 What Happened
The EPA announced it is removing a scientific finding about greenhouse gases. This finding was made in 2009 and said that greenhouse gases harm people and the environment. It was used as the basis for all rules about carbon emissions from cars, power plants, and factories. The EPA says the finding was legally wrong.
💡 Why It Matters
This affects rules that limit pollution from vehicles and power plants across America. The finding was ordered by the Supreme Court in 2007. Removing it could end the government's power to control greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
🔮 What Happens Next
Legal challenges will likely take this issue back to the Supreme Court. The Court will decide if the EPA has the power to regulate greenhouse gases that cause climate change.
