Summary

The Trump EPA is rescinding the endangerment finding (EF) for GHGs to implement the oil industry’s strategy to prevent loss of its $600-billion annual market for petroleum fuels for at least the next decade, and potentially until 2050. This Comment explains (1) the role the Trump Administration’s EPA is playing to prevent states and federal agencies from creating a regulatory framework to transition the U.S. transportation sector from the largest source of pollutants that cause climate warming and harm public health to zero emission technologies; (2) why the pseudo-science cited to withdraw the EF is invalid; (3) the implications that EPA’s proposed actions have for future climate policy and on the health of 156 million Americans living in areas with harmful air pollution; and (4) why EPA’s proposal to rescind CO2 emission standards violates the CAA.
