A big win today: a federal court found that the Trump administration’s sham report attacking climate science was created in secret by a hand-picked set of climate policy opponents, violating the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Read our statement here:

EPA is siding with polluters by illegally delaying methane rules for oil and gas. EPA’s own data shows that a 1-year delay results in the emissions of 3.8M tons of methane and 36K tons of toxic air pollution – at the expense of public health and the climate. www.catf.us/2025/11/us-e...

OPINION: The EPA's proposed reversal of the "endangerment finding" threatens Wyoming's way of life and economy, writes guest columnist Shana Tarter.

"Now hellbent on advancing a deregulatory agenda on political grounds, EPA completely ignores its own factual findings, disregards scientific evidence, and relies on unreasonable assumptions. ...

Sharing my piece out today on the Trump administration proposal to rescind the scientific "endangerment finding" and surrender EPA's role fighting climate change. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Today's proposal from the U.S. EPA to repeal the greenhouse gas endangerment finding is a drastic step in its attack on clean air regulations – putting the health of millions of Americans at risk.

it would be great if, on the day the EPA decides to rescind a massive decision allowing it to regulate greenhouse gasses, it could make sure the website is updated so i dont get a 404 PAGE NOT FOUND when attempting to access info about said rollback

"EPA's proposed repeal of power plant carbon pollution standards would be devastating for public health." Today, CATF Attorney @franksturges.bsky.social provided testimony on EPA's proposed repeal of carbon pollution standards for power plants.

It’s public hearing day for the fundamentally flawed proposed repeal of EPA’s carbon pollution standards for power plants—tune in here as yours truly and so many others call for the proposal to be withdrawn www.youtube.com/live/-OJFfXD...

Trump has replaced oherent, all-of-government rules for environmental impact statements with a welter of agency-specific rules and guidance. The resulting chaos is to no one's benefit. You won't be surprised that the new rules limit public participation. legal-planet.org/2025/07/07/a...

This seems pretty…..significant

Is NEPA the barrier to clean energy deployment? Will the recent Supreme Court decision restricting it lead to a new golden era of clean energy abundance? No. In our new blog, @franksturges.bsky.social and I explain why--and what we can do to speed permitting instead.

The only thing hotter than this heat wave is our NEPA hot takes* *actually very well-considered analysis

This is why we can’t have nice things

The Trump administration wants to get rid of all limits on climate-warming pollution from the nation's fossil fuel power plants. Fossil fuel interests hailed the proposal, which likely faces legal challenges from environmental groups. My @npr.org story: www.npr.org/2025/06/11/n...

The head of the EPA announced that the agency is proposing to scrap two major regulations that limit air pollution and planet-warming emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants.

the epa says it's giving up on regulating emissions from power plants just days after noaa released the highest-ever recorded seasonal co2 concentrations at mauna loa. what a time to be alive!!!!!!!!!

The EPA has announced a proposal to eliminate Biden-era regulations restricting power plant greenhouse gas pollution, a move that would significantly increase U.S. emissions.

Last month, Interior issued guidance to fast-track fossil and mining projects on public lands by bypassing environmental reviews and public input — all under the guise of an “energy emergency.” But this move is both unnecessary and harmful. 🧵 www.catf.us/2025/05/inte...

The Trump administration has temporarily suspended an air-quality monitoring program at national parks across the country, according to an internal email obtained by The Post and two people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Essential reading

About 46% of Americans live with unsafe levels of ozone, particulate pollution or both, according to a report from the American Lung Association. The Trump administration's plans to loosen environmental regulations and cut funding for air quality research would make matters worse, the report says.
