The Trump Administration’s Attempt to Roll Back Greenhouse Gas Regulations

The Trump administration is facing criticism for its efforts to end the US government’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions by arguing they do not pose a danger to people. This move is part of a broader strategy to dismantle restrictions on power plants and vehicles, which the administration claims inhibit economic growth. However, environmental advocates and climate scientists argue that this legal argument is flawed in light of overwhelming evidence from climate science.

David Doniger from the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group, describes the administration’s argument as “nutty” and lacking merit. The legal debate centers around the 2009 Endangerment Finding by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which established that greenhouse gases emitted by power plants and vehicles pose a danger to people. This finding has been instrumental in regulating emissions and reducing the environmental impact of these sources.

On July 29, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the agency’s intention to repeal the Endangerment Finding, touting it as the “largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States”. However, this decision is likely to face legal challenges, as it contradicts established scientific consensus on the risks posed by rising greenhouse gas concentrations.

In a draft of the new rule, the EPA argues that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere do not present a significant enough threat to warrant emission reductions. This stance goes against the findings of numerous climate science bodies and reports, including those by the EPA itself, which have consistently highlighted the risks associated with unchecked greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate scientists point to a 2018 study that reaffirmed the rationale behind the Endangerment Finding, emphasizing the growing body of evidence linking greenhouse gas emissions to adverse health and environmental impacts. The EPA’s reliance on a Department of Energy report, authored by climate science skeptics, has been criticized for cherry-picking data and ignoring contradictory evidence.

Experts like Zeke Hausfather from Berkeley Earth and Andrew Dessler from Texas A&M University have raised concerns about the credibility of the DOE report, calling it a “farce” and highlighting its selective use of information. The dismissal of established climate science in favor of unsubstantiated claims has raised alarm among the scientific community.

In conclusion, the push to roll back greenhouse gas regulations by questioning the dangers posed by these emissions is seen as a regressive and scientifically unfounded move. In the face of escalating climate change impacts, it is essential to uphold regulatory measures that aim to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and safeguard the environment for future generations.
