EPA Kills Greenhouse Gas Rules - Climate Policy Reversed
📰 What Happened
The Environmental Protection Agency removed a key science report that allowed the government to control greenhouse gas pollution. This report, called an endangerment finding, was created in 2009 after the Supreme Court ordered it. The EPA now says the report was not legal and wants the Supreme Court to change its old decision.
💡 Why It Matters
This change could end rules that limit pollution from cars, power plants, and factories. Millions of Americans could breathe dirtier air. The EPA is betting that today's Supreme Court will reverse what an earlier Supreme Court ordered, which could change how America fights climate change for years to come.
🔮 What Happens Next
Environmental groups will likely sue to stop this change. The case will probably go to the Supreme Court, where judges will decide if the EPA can throw out its own science report.
