The Trump administration has revoked a scientific finding that was the backbone of U.S. climate policy for nearly two decades. “We are officially terminating the so-called ‘endangerment finding,’ a disastrous Obama-era policy,” the president said during a White House event Thursday with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. In 2009, the Obama administration issued the endangerment finding, a scientific declaration that greenhouse gas emissions threaten public health and welfare. Zeldin called the finding “the Holy Grail of federal regulatory overreach.” Scientists and environmental groups said the administration’s action would lead to more pollution and health harms. William Brangham (William Brangham) has more.

The EPA has repealed its own landmark, Obama-era assessment that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare.

Until the shift, which is expected to be challenged in court, the so-called "endangerment finding" had been the legal foundation for many of the federal government’s climate regulations. William Brangham speaks to Maxine Joselow for more.
