The Trump administration revoked a key scientific finding that formed the basis for regulations to address climate change.
A group of 23 states have filed a legal petition against a decision under United States President Donald Trump to revoke a scientific finding that formed the basis for regulations meant to address climate change.
The legal challenge, led by California and New York, was filed in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Thursday.
Nine cities, several counties, the US Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia also joined the petition, as well as Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
“Instead of helping Americans face our new reality, the Trump administration has chosen denial, repealing the critical protections that are foundational to the federal government’s response to climate change,” New York State Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.
The complaint comes in response to Trump’s move on February 12 to repeal a determination known as the “endangerment finding”.
