EPA Kills Greenhouse Gas Rules - Supreme Court Next
📰 What Happened
The EPA announced it is ending a 2009 scientific finding that said greenhouse gases harm people and the environment. This finding was the basis for all rules limiting carbon emissions from cars, power plants, and factories. The Supreme Court ordered this finding in 2007, but the EPA now says it was legally wrong.
💡 Why It Matters
This move could end most federal limits on carbon pollution in America. Millions of people could face dirtier air and more climate change effects. The EPA wants the Supreme Court to reverse its own 2007 decision that started climate regulations.
🔮 What Happens Next
Environmental groups will likely sue the EPA over this decision. The case will probably end up at the Supreme Court, which is exactly what the Trump administration wants.
