The EPA has repealed its own landmark, Obama-era assessment that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare. Public health and environmental groups warn that Thursday's changes could lead to many more premature deaths and a rise in asthma attacks in the coming decades. 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.

Repealing the Obama-era EPA Endangerment Finding may be the single greatest thing I have ever seen come out of the Trump administration. And Lee Zeldin tells me that we could start seeing savings “IMMEDIATELY”: “As far as signaling to auto manufacturers that the President was focused on it, that was a DAY ONE message that was sent.”

🚨Celebrate! The EPA Endangerment Finding is Dead! In a moment of unbridled glory yesterday, President Donald Trump and EPA administrator Lee Zeldin formally announced the rescission of the 2009 Endangerment Finding by the Obama EPA. ⚡️The Washington Post called Obama's move a "massive overreach," and they're right. ⚡️Zeldin said the rescission is something only Trump would do, and he's right. ⚡️The White House press office says the rescission will “unleash a new era of American prosperity,” and they’re right. ⚡️Trump said the Endangerment Finding "had no basis whatsoever in law," and he's right. ⚡️They're all right: Obama's finding that CO2, aka, plant food, is a "pollutant" to be regulated under the Clean Air Act, amounted to a legal abomination. Everyone knew it from Day 1, but most lacked the guts to say so publicly. ⚡️It should have been rescinded long ago, before it allowed EPA to cost the U.S. economy trillions of dollars with a vast array of heavy regulations. Trump finally got it done. Because he's the only political figure of our time willing to absorb the smears, attacks, and avalanche of lies from the climate activists and their media enablers. God Bless him. This is a day to celebrate. U.S. EPA Lee Zeldin Donald J. Trump #endangermentfinding #CO2

BREAKING: Trump’s EPA just repealed the landmark endangerment finding to give polluters a free pass. The science is clear: greenhouse gas pollution presents a clear and present danger to our health and our planet. No amount of denial from Trump or Zeldin will change that.

“The Obama EPA twisted the Clean Air Act to say CO₂ ‘contributes’ to climate change—but never said how much. Now we’re rescinding that flimsy endangerment finding, scrapping those costly vehicle regs, and yes—proposing to eliminate the hated start-stop feature too.” -- Lee Zeldin

The recent repeal of the 2009 Obama EPA Endangerment Finding, all greenhouse gas emissions standards that followed, and all off-cycle credits including the almost universally hated start/stop feature, is the largest act of deregulation in US history and will save Americans $2,400 for a new vehicle purchase. I was honored to announce it alongside President Trump and without any apology or regret!
