Trump set to repeal landmark climate finding in huge regulatory rollback this week

Feb 9 (Reuters) - The Trump administration is set this week to overturn an Obama-era scientific finding that serves as the legal basis for federal greenhouse-gas regulation, the Environmental Protection Agency said on Monday.

Repealing the so-called endangerment finding, a scientific determination that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health, would remove the legal foundation for broader greenhouse gas regulation and would mark the Trump administration's most wide-reaching climate policy rollback.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the repeal is expected to be published later this week, and cited EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin saying it would amount to "the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States." The Trump administration has been working on the repeal for over a year.

The proposed rule was sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review on January 7. The proposal, unveiled last summer, got over a half a million public comments. The repeal would remove the regulatory requirements to measure, report, certify, and comply with federal GHG emission standards for cars, administration officials told the Wall Street Journal, but would not apply to stationary sources such as power plants.

Shoving it up someone's a$$ is the name of the game. That's all they are good at. That is ALL they do.

One would be very hard pressed to name virtually anything he has done to benefit this country and its people.

… heat that body of gas will hold and that study was the foundation of one of the gas laws that
has never been shown to be wrong once or that our warming of the planet is putting the Blue
Whale on a path to extinction because it’s food source, krill, can’t thrive in warmer waters aren’t
real reasons to believe science.

For the sake of the supportive capacity of the planet … the earth will always be here until the sun
becomes a red giant ….. can’t Trump and the Republicans just die?
