Trump administration takes aim at Obama-era climate change regulations

For over 15 years, the government has operated on limited scientific research and legal findings to justify its climate action agenda. Now, the Trump administration is seriously considering scrapping the crux of these Obama-era climate change regulations.

The Trump administration is reconsidering the EPA's "endangerment finding," a 2009 rule based on the results of the 2007 Massachusetts v. EPA Supreme Court case. The endangerment finding mandates the EPA to curb climate change caused by greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, last amended in 1990.
