'Very concerning': How EPA rolling back greenhouse gas emissions endangerment finding could impact health
ABC News
Some environmental scientists say the EPA rolling back the "endangerment finding" is concerning and could have major implications for human health.
The Trump administration walked back an Obama-era environmental decision that has been the legal basis for establishing federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said on Thursday it was rescinding the 2009 endangerment finding, which determined that six key greenhouse gases threaten human health and welfare.
The regulations that resulted cover everything from vehicle tailpipe emissions to the release of greenhouse gases from power plants and other significant emission sources.
President Donald Trump called the move "the single largest deregulatory action in American history" and said the repealed finding had "no basis in fact" and "no basis in law."
The endangerment finding stemmed from the 2007 Supreme Court decision Massachusetts v. EPA, which held that the EPA could regulate greenhouse gases from motor vehicles under the 1970 Clean Air Act because those gases are air pollutants.
