There's zero scientific basis for overturning the #climate #endangerment finding, so the Trump administration is hoping for some legal loophole given their increasing control over the judiciary. If they succeed that may be a GOP political victory but a loss for the entire planet.

To enrich a few while harming the rest of us

"Rollback of government’s ability to limit climate-heating pollution from vehicles will make families ‘sicker and less safe’..Trump’s EPA repeals landmark climate finding in gift to ‘billionaire polluters’."

"Repealing the Endangerment Finding takes Orwellian governance to new heights and invites enormous damage to people and property around the world."

"The final rule removes the government’s ability to impose requirements to track, report and limit climate-heating pollution from cars and trucks. Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in the US."

“If this reckless decision survives legal challenges, it will lead to more deadly wildfires, more extreme heat deaths, more climate-driven floods and droughts, and greater threats to communities nationwide – all while the EPA dismisses the overwhelming science that has protected public health for decades.'

They can hide, censor, and deny #climate change science but that doesn't change the #science.
They can try to repeal the #Endangerment Finding but that doesn't change the danger.
Reality will always win and history will never forget what they're doing and who is doing it.
