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President Trump’s EPA just repealed the legal and scientific conclusion that climate change is real and gutted restrictions on climate pollution from vehicles.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.

This is the most dangerous environmental rollback we’ve ever seen. 🧵👇

The EPA was created to protect people from polluters, but it’s ignoring climate science by revoking the finding that says climate change endangers public health. This move is unscientific, illegal, and deeply irresponsible. We will see you in court, and we will win.

As unnatural disasters intensify, the Trump administration is rescinding the scientific finding that climate change threatens human health and welfare. Our President and CEO Manish Bapna warns that this move would worsen the crisis, making everyday people suffer while fossil-fuel executives profit.

We all should be talking about this. NRDC lawyer and legal director of Climate & Energy, Meredith Hankins, breaks down the Trump administration’s latest attack on our climate and health.

Cities are flooding and forests are burning, but the EPA is ignoring both science and the law as it’s claiming that it doesn’t have the authority to combat the country’s biggest contributor to climate change.

BREAKING: The Trump administration's EPA rescinded the 2009 endangerment finding that determined that climate pollution is a threat to public health and welfare and is core to much of the climate policy that followed.

Home to dolphins, endangered whales, and corals, Trump plans to open the Atlantic’s only Marine National Monument to commercial fishing, threatening this long-protected ocean refuge and the marine life that depend on it.

Today the coal industry presented President Trump with the “Undisputed Champion of Coal” award. This aligns with the administration's pro coal agenda to financially support inefficient coal fired power plants around the nation, leaving the rest of us to pay the price.

Climate change is turning the Arctic’s rivers orange. As the earth warms, thawing permafrost is releasing iron, rusting rivers and unleashing toxic levels of metals like copper and zinc. This shift threatens wildlife, communities, and the waterways they both rely on.

We’re sending a love letter to our public lands because we need to show these wild places that we care and are fighting tooth and nail to keep them out of the hands of greedy Big Oil corporations.

Relying on an old energy grid, hurricane-battered Puerto Ricans face frequent blackouts. Bad Bunny showcased the crisis in his historic Super Bowl halftime show just weeks after the Trump administration canceled programs meant to build a cleaner, resilient system on the island.

Cute ad campaign. I bet the 72,000 policyholders State Farm dropped in California appreciate the laugh. We need insurers who aren’t “halfway there”, which means: Paying covered claims. Pricing fairly. Rewarding risk reduction. Protecting people, not just company profits.

Toxic “forever” chemicals known as PFAS have been found at levels above the EPA’s safety thresholds in all but three states. We have been working to uphold the standards that protect Americans from PFAS, despite the current administration’s moves to weaken them.

Trump’s EPA is letting some polluters dodge Clean Air Act rules. Medical sterilization plants using toxic chemicals are getting free passes to exceed emission limits. We’re joining partners to sue the EPA for giving polluters this unwarranted break.

The Roadless Area Conservation Rule protects our forests from harmful roadbuilding that pollutes waterways, threatens clean drinking water, and fragments wildlife habitat. But the Trump administration wants to strip these protections and open forests to extractive industries.

Last week, communities across the country gathered with a simple demand for the oil and gas industry: You make a mess, you should clean it up. This push comes in support of laws that would require polluters to help pay for the costs of climate change.
