EPA Kills Greenhouse Gas Rules - Major Climate Shift
📰 What Happened
The EPA announced it is removing a key scientific finding that allowed the government to control greenhouse gas emissions. This finding was ordered by the Supreme Court in 2007 and finished in 2009. It has been the basis for regulating carbon dioxide from cars, power plants, and factories for years.
💡 Why It Matters
This decision could end most federal rules that limit pollution causing climate change. Millions of Americans could face dirtier air and more extreme weather. The EPA is hoping the Supreme Court will support this major change in environmental protection.
🔮 What Happens Next
Legal battles will likely start soon as environmental groups challenge this decision in court. The Supreme Court will probably decide the final outcome of this major change to climate rules.
