EPA Kills Greenhouse Gas Rules - Climate Regulations End
📰 What Happened
The Environmental Protection Agency removed a key scientific finding about greenhouse gases on Thursday. This finding from 2009 said that carbon dioxide and other gases harm public health. It was the basis for all rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from cars, power plants, and factories.
💡 Why It Matters
Without this finding, the government cannot make rules to limit carbon pollution. This affects everyone who breathes air and everyone concerned about climate change. The EPA is hoping the Supreme Court will support this decision and overturn an old ruling that required the analysis in the first place.
🔮 What Happens Next
Legal challenges will likely follow this decision. The EPA seems ready for a court battle that could go all the way to the Supreme Court.
