Trump Delivers a Deadly Blow to EPA’s Ability to Regulate Climate Pollution

CNN, THE Voice of the Crust.
The Trump administration delivered a deadly blow to longstanding US climate policy on Thursday, finalizing rules that revoke the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate climate pollution.
No, it didn’t. It revoked the EPA’s excuse for over-regulation in the name of preventing climate pollution.
First issued in 2009, the endangerment finding determined that six greenhouse gases could be categorized as dangerous to human health under the Clean Air Act. It has underpinned the EPA’s authority to limit planet-warming pollution from the oil and gas industry, power plants and vehicles since the Obama administration and is considered the federal government’s most powerful tool to tackle climate pollution and the country’s contribution to the global crisis.
When you’ ve said Obama Administration, you’ve said it all.
“We are officially terminating the so-called endangerment finding,” President Donald Trump said on Thursday, calling the policy “disastrous.”
Trump said repealing the regulations “has nothing to do with public health.”
“This was all a scam, a giant scam,” Trump said on Thursday. “This was a rip off of the country by Obama and Biden.”
Indeed it was. The EPA is one of the reasons that Richard Nixon will burn in Hell for all eternity.
