Trump Scuttles EPA Endangerment Finding Used to Control Greenhouse Gases
May 27, 2026
President Trump has terminated the EPA's endangerment finding, stripping federal authority to limit greenhouse gas pollution. The move could add up to 18 billion metric tons of climate pollution by 2055, potentially causing 184,000 early deaths and 37 million asthma attacks. Legal challenges are expected from Democratic leaders and environmental groups.
