Lawsuit challenges EPA's repeal of landmark climate endangerment finding
TL;DR Summary
More than a dozen health and environmental-justice groups filed a DC Circuit lawsuit challenging the EPA’s rollback of the 2009 endangerment finding, which underpins limits on heat-trapping emissions from vehicles and power plants. The plaintiffs name the EPA and Administrator Lee Zeldin as defendants, arguing the repeal jeopardizes public health protections under the Clean Air Act and contradicts science; the agency defends the move as lawful. The outcome could affect ongoing climate-regulation efforts.
