EPA Kills Greenhouse Gas Rules - Climate Law Gutted
📰 What Happened
The EPA announced it is removing a key scientific finding about greenhouse gases. This finding was ordered by the Supreme Court in 2007 and finished in 2009. It has been the basis for all rules about carbon dioxide emissions from cars, power plants, and factories since then.
💡 Why It Matters
This change removes the legal foundation for controlling greenhouse gas pollution in America. Millions of people could see more air pollution and climate change effects. The EPA is hoping the Supreme Court will support this move and reverse its own earlier decision.
🔮 What Happens Next
This decision will likely go to court quickly. Environmental groups and some states will probably sue. The case could reach the Supreme Court within a year or two.
