Trump revokes landmark ruling that greenhouse gases endanger public health
Revoking climate change protections endangers public health and the environment.
President Donald Trump revoked a landmark 2009 ruling by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that concluded greenhouse gases endanger public health, arguing it was a "disastrous" Obama-era policy. Environmental groups are challenging the reversal, claiming it will lead to increased pollution and premature deaths. Administration officials argue the rollback will save money for consumers and automakers, but many experts believe it will have unintended consequences and may face legal challenges in court.
