EPA moves to scrap findings on greenhouse gas dangers

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) -The EPA is making moves to scrap a landmark rule that held some of the biggest polluters accountable.

The agency says the move will undo the underpinning of $1 trillion dollars in environmental regulations.

Opponents say the environmental cost is one that can’t be undone.

“They’re trying to do an end run by going after this this bedrock finding and in doing so weaken that whole set of regulations,” said Former EPA advisor Zealan Hoover.

The move would scrap pollution regulations for things like power plants, car manufacturers, and airlines.

It comes at a critical inflection point for climate change.

Republican Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri is onboard.

“The cost of greenhouse gasses? They’re making speculative predictions of weather, by the way, historical events, hundreds of years down the road?” Said Sen. Schmitt. “That’s not science, that’s a political ideology wrapped into an administrative state.”

Lawsuits are already in the works, and right now begins a public comment period.
