Health Care Professionals, Scientists, and Children Sue the EPA Over Recent Move

https://murica.website/2026/02/health-care-professionals-scientists-and-children-sue-the-epa-over-recent-move/

So we’re doing the un-science thing now? According to the article, six environmental/health groups (via Earthjustice) sued the EPA in the D.C. Circuit after it moved to kill the 2009 endangerment finding—arguments it says the Supreme Court rejected in 2007 (Massachusetts v. EPA). Who’s minding the litter box? 😼

Lawsuit from #health and #EnvironmentalJustice groups challenges the EPA’s rollback of the ‘endangerment finding’

"More than a dozen health and environmental justice non-profits have sued the Environmental Protection Agency over its revocation of the legal determination that underpins US federal climate regulations.

"Filed in Washington DC circuit court, the lawsuit challenges the EPA’s rollback of the '#EndangermentFinding', which states that the buildup of heat-trapping #pollution in the atmosphere endangers #PublicHealth and welfare and has allowed the EPA to limit those emissions from #vehicles, #PowerPlants and other #industrial sources since 2009. The rollback was widely seen as a major setback to US efforts to combat the #ClimateCrisis.

"The suit was brought by the American Public Health Association [#APHA], #AmericanLungAssociation, the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, the #EnvironmentalDefenseFund, the #NaturalResourcesDefenseCouncil [#NRDC], the #SierraClub and 11 other public health and environmental organizations. The lawsuit was filed by green legal organizations #CleanAirTaskForce and #Earthjustice and it names the EPA and the agency’s administrator, #LeeZeldin, as defendants.

" 'EPA’s repeal of the endangerment finding and #safeguards to limit vehicle emissions marks a complete dereliction of the agency’s mission to protect people’s health and its legal obligation under the #CleanAirAct,' said #GretchenGoldman, president and CEO at the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, another one of the groups behind the lawsuit. 'This shameful and dangerous action by the Trump administration and EPA Administrator Zeldin is rooted in falsehoods not facts and is at complete odds with the public interest and the best available science.' "

#Trump is a Dirty Old Whore, Wearing Too Much Makeup, Willing To Do Anything for a Dollar.

If smoke fills a room and you remove the smoke detector, congratulations — you’ve solved the beeping problem.

Not the fire.

Trump Erased the Endangerment Finding. Here Come the Lawsuits.

"The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate #greenhouse gas #emissions and fight #climate change, the most aggressive move by the #Republican president to roll back climate regulations."

How #dystopian is it to revoke a #scientific finding?

‘The #epa has said that it determined the US would save billions annually by revoking the endangerment determination.

But the agency’s analysis did not account for the money and lives saved by the environmental and public-health protections that the change would eliminate, experts say.’
