EPA plans to ignore science, stop regulating greenhouse gases

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to significantly reduce its regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, a move that critics argue will have severe consequences for public health and the environment. This proposed action is considered the "largest deregulatory action" in the history of the United States. The EPA's plan would effectively ignore the scientific consensus on the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly their contribution to climate change. This decision goes against the agency's mandate to protect human health and the environment. Critics warn that this move will lead to increased air pollution, exacerbating respiratory issues and other health problems, particularly for vulnerable populations. Additionally, the lack of regulation on greenhouse gas emissions could further accelerate the effects of climate change, with far-reaching consequences for the planet. The proposed changes are part of a broader effort by the current administration to roll back environmental regulations, prioritizing economic interests over public welfare and the long-term sustainability of the environment.
