We’ve been pushing to get perchlorate—a toxic chemical used in rocket fuel—out of our drinking water for decades. Now, the EPA is under court order to develop a long overdue safety standard for perchlorate, but they’re dragging their feet.

The Trump administration just got rid of carbon emissions restrictions on cars and trucks—the move will hike up gas prices and repair costs for Americans as greedy fossil fuel companies boost their profits.

The EPA’s mission is to protect public health, not polluters. But under President Trump, they’re rolling back life-saving clean air standards, ignoring science, and putting the fossil fuel industry over our health and future.

The House majority's Farm Bill fails to meet the moment cutting conservation, rolling back environmental protections, and threatening rural energy savings, which would put corporate interests over family farmers. Congress must craft a bipartisan bill that delivers. https://on.nrdc.org/4rfOH6y

GOOD NEWS: Sempra listened to the people of Mexico and canceled its proposed Vista Pacifico fossil fuel project in the Gulf of California, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Aquarium of the World.” This is a huge step forward to protect the region’s rich biodiversity and coastal communities.

After years of calling climate change a “hoax,” President Trump and his administration are ignoring the crisis and giving polluters free reign. We’re already in court, fighting to stop the EPA’s illegal move to end emissions limits on cars and trucks.

The Trump administration’s push to export U.S. oil is driving up what Americans pay at the pump. Adopting clean, reliable power is true energy security because “what’s not spiking today is the cost of wind and solar,” says our President and CEO, Manish Bapna.

Communities across Michigan are ready to move forward with clean energy, but the Trump administration is forcing the J.H. Campbell coal plant to stay open. This move drives up energy bills, creates more pollution, and undermines the clean, healthy future that communities deserve.

Ignoring the law, President Trump’s EPA declared that they won’t act on climate change. Families are already shouldering the costs of the climate crisis with higher electricity bills, dirtier air, and worsening health problems—now, it’s only going to get worse.

Our director of policy analysis, Amanda Levin, analyzed data quietly uploaded by the EPA that shows a spike in toxic air pollution—especially in facilities given a presidential exemption. Read more: https://on.nrdc.org/4sdXS8g

The EPA was created to protect Americans from polluters, but it's undermining its own ability to protect people from climate pollution, abandoning its core mission. Alongside our partners, we’re suing the EPA for this unscientific, illegal, and irresponsible move.

Reflecting on historical wins, our fossil fuels policy advocate, Zanagee Artis, tells us why advocacy is so inspiring and important for our country to grow. Listen to the full episode here: https://on.nrdc.org/3N6k0T8

JUST IN: EPA data shows that toxic air pollution from power plants spiked last year—with those given a presidential exemption surging the most. President Trump’s plan to give polluters a free pass is in motion, and we’re already suffering the consequences.

In another cash grab for big polluters, the Trump administration is attempting to hold a lease sale in the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Submit a comment now to help stop them: https://on.nrdc.org/4cMmn83

The EPA’s move to repeal a longstanding scientific finding that climate change endangers human health will cost lives. Without adequate protections, heatwaves, floods, and other unnatural disasters will get worse, hitting communities of color and low-income families hardest.

Sempra, a major California utility company, plans to build a massive fossil fuel project in the Gulf of California, a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the “aquarium of the world”. The project puts endangered species and fragile marine habitats at risk.

The EPA’s move to repeal the endangerment finding and eliminate all carbon pollution limits for vehicles ignores its own analysis, which shows that this rollback would raise costs for drivers and households.

President Trump’s EPA just repealed the legal and scientific conclusion that climate change is real and gutted restrictions on climate pollution from vehicles. It already said it would stop factoring in lives saved to its cost-benefit analysis of air pollution rules. Now, we’re taking them to court.

As President Trump takes the State of the Union stage tonight, remember that his dirty coal agenda is driving up electricity bills and pumping more pollution into our air, even though clean and affordable alternatives are available.

President Trump is helping oil companies chase profits abroad while ignoring what American families need most: lower energy costs. Investing in clean energy, not foreign oil, is how we put people first and secure a livable future.

As families across the country struggle to make ends meet, the Trump administration is gutting environmental protections and blocking clean energy projects that would cut costs and create jobs. Tonight, President Trump will try to rebrand his chaos.

Tonight, on one of the biggest political stages in the world, President Trump will continue to tell his biggest lie—that he cares about you. As families struggle to make ends meet, his administration is putting jobs, clean air, and cheap, reliable energy at risk.

Climate-fueled disasters have devastating, long-lasting impacts on real people. “I’ve seen these impacts firsthand,” shared one community leader. “Hurricane Ida flooded my community and destroyed homes.” The EPA’s job is to protect us from environmental harm, but it’s failing.

Trump’s EPA is ignoring the clear threat climate change poses to human health. The agency was created to protect people from polluters, not the other way around.

The EPA continues to repeal critical climate protections, ignoring worsening climate impacts and putting families at risk. A strong economy depends on environmental safeguards that protect our health and well-being. Without them, communities will suffer.

From floods to wildfires, communities are feeling the impacts of climate change, but the Trump administration just took its most extreme step ever to dismantle federal climate protections—ignoring science and unnatural disasters.

The EPA’s own analysis showed that eliminating carbon pollution limits for cars and trucks would mean higher costs and fewer jobs. They did it anyway.

By repealing climate safeguards, the Trump administration is ignoring clear science that climate pollution harms public health. Without protections in place, climate change and air pollution will get worse—threatening the health and safety of everyone.

Communities are feeling the effects of unnatural disasters nationwide, while President Trump’s EPA is repealing key protections against climate pollution. The realities of climate change are undeniable, and ignoring the crisis won’t make it go away.

Our federal climate legal director, Meredith Hankins, talks about how the EPA has sold out our planet’s future to polluters. Listen to the full episode of our podcast, What the Earth: https://on.nrdc.org/4kDTs84

The EPA’s newest decision will allow power plants to emit more brain-damaging mercury and dangerous soot pollution, putting frontline communities at especially greater risk of heart and lung disease, cancer, and premature death.

Every part of the country has faced extreme weather made worse by climate pollution. Now, President Trump’s EPA is repealing limits on that very pollution. It’s clear they care more about polluters’ profits than our health or future.

President Trump’s EPA is eliminating all vehicle carbon pollution standards, even though its own analysis shows this rollback will raise driving costs for families. The bottom line: Americans will pay more while oil and gas CEOs make millions.

The EPA’s reversal of the endangerment finding ignores decades of research and undermines science’s vital role in protecting our health, safety, and future from climate change.

As communities face deadly unnatural disasters, the Trump administration is repealing a key scientific and legal basis for regulating climate pollution—ignoring science, the law, and common sense. We will see them in court.

Alongside our partners, we’re suing the EPA for illegally abandoning its duty to protect us from climate pollution. Its unscientific repeal of vital safeguards defies the law, science, and public interest. We’ll see them in court, and we will win.

Our federal climate legal director, Meredith Hankins, talks us through the EPA’s perplexing move to repeal the endangerment finding. Listen to the full episode of our podcast, What the Earth: https://on.nrdc.org/4kDTs84

Last week, President Trump’s EPA repealed the endangerment finding—a scientific and legal foundation for tackling climate pollution. Today, we sued to stop them.

The Trump Administration’s move to revoke the Endangerment Finding removes the EPA’s ability to limit carbon pollution from cars and trucks—the biggest source of U.S. climate emissions—putting lives, money, and our climate at risk.

Communities across the U.S. are being devastated by worsening climate disasters. Yet, Trump’s EPA just repealed the rule that gave them the power to regulate the vehicle emissions fueling these disasters—potentially putting even more Americans in harm’s way.

Trump’s EPA repealed the longstanding scientific finding that climate change threatens human health and welfare, weakening the agency’s ability to protect people from the fossil fuel pollution driving the crisis. Learn more on how this move will endanger us all:

As part of a broader attack on climate, Trump’s EPA is weakening its own ability to limit fossil fuel pollution driving the climate crisis. This move sets the stage to weaken even more federal standards, putting future generations at risk.

For over a decade, the Endangerment Finding has protected Americans from dangerous climate pollution. The EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions has been upheld time and time again, and we’ll see them in court to defend it.

Global warming threatens our health, safety, and environment, but Trump’s EPA repealed the scientific determination that is core to the government’s authority to act on it. The science has been clear for decades: unchecked greenhouse gas emissions are dangerous.

Trump’s EPA delivered yet another free pass for oil and gas corporations to pollute by weakening its own ability to limit fossil fuel pollution. But we’re not backing down. We’ll keep fighting for our future in the courts.
