The Trump administration is seeking to repeal a landmark finding that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to public health, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.
“This has been referred to as basically driving a dagger into the heart of the climate change religion,” EPA administrator Lee Zeldin told the conservative “Ruthless Podcast.” “Repealing it will be the largest deregulatory action in the history of America,” Zeldin said
The EPA under the Obama administration issued an endangerment finding in 2009 that carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases “threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.”
