Trump Overturns EPA Finding on Greenhouse Gas Pollution
Donald Trump revoked the 2009 Environmental Protection Agency finding that greenhouse gases are pollutants, effectively removing the legal basis for federal climate regulations.This decision follows a year of declining environmental enforcement, with the agency filing only one Clean Air Act consent decree since January 2025.Critics including
John Kerry and
Barack Obama condemned the move, while legal groups like
Earthjustice prepared to challenge the deregulatory actions in court.
