EPA Kills Climate Rules - Targets Supreme Court Reversal
📰 What Happened
The Environmental Protection Agency cancelled a key scientific report about greenhouse gases on February 12, 2026. This report was made in 2009 and was the basis for all rules limiting carbon emissions from cars, power plants, and factories. The Supreme Court had ordered this report back in 2007.
💡 Why It Matters
This change could end most federal rules that limit pollution causing climate change. Millions of Americans could face more air pollution and climate impacts. The EPA wants the Supreme Court to reverse its own earlier decision that required the government to study and control greenhouse gases.
🔮 What Happens Next
Environmental groups will likely sue to stop this change. The case will probably go to the Supreme Court, where the EPA hopes to get the 2007 ruling reversed.
