Trump’s EPA Wants to Pretend That Greenhouse Gases Aren’t a Threat to Human Health

The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a rule that would eliminate all greenhouse gas emissions regulations for motor vehicles and engines. This move is seen as a significant setback in the fight against climate change, as greenhouse gas emissions are widely recognized as a major threat to human health and the environment. The proposed rule would effectively reverse the EPA's previous finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare, a key justification for implementing emissions regulations. Critics argue that this decision is politically motivated and ignores scientific evidence on the harmful effects of climate change. The article suggests that this proposed rule is part of the Trump administration's broader effort to roll back environmental regulations and undermine efforts to address climate change. The potential impacts of such a policy shift could be far-reaching, affecting public health, the environment, and the fight against global warming.
