EPA Kills Greenhouse Gas Rules - Major Climate Shift
📰 What Happened
The EPA has removed a key science report from 2009 that said greenhouse gases harm people and the environment. This report was the basis for all rules limiting carbon pollution from cars, power plants, and factories. The Supreme Court ordered this report in 2007, and it has guided climate policy for years.
💡 Why It Matters
This change could end most federal rules that limit carbon pollution in America. It affects every power plant, car maker, and factory in the country. The EPA is hoping the Supreme Court will support this move and reverse its own earlier decision about climate rules.
🔮 What Happens Next
Lawsuits will likely challenge this decision in court. The EPA wants the Supreme Court to reverse its 2007 ruling and limit the agency's power to regulate greenhouse gases.
