Next admin needs to 1) reverse on the basis of science and 2) target this killer for his destructive acts and willful disregard for public health and the environment so his fossil fuel buddies can make more money.
This [one-pager from the EPA](https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2025-03/final-pager-endangerment.pdf) summarizes the kooky argument for repealing the endangerment finding. It seems that the Supreme Court decision on Clean Air Act (CAA) applicability was only supposed to be about CO2 from cars, not all six GHGs and not all sources. By taking that broader view of pollutants, the endangerment finding was able to conveniently ignore the economic costs of the policy. And apparently the costs of regulation far outweigh the potential impacts (to the public) of these air pollutants.
This argument might be complicated by the fact that the CAA doesn’t actually require the EPA to consider costs when making endangerment findings – that’s only supposed to be done when setting emissions standards. But maybe Zeldin is hoping to look beyond that in order to protect the public from what is claimed to be “trillions of dollars” of economic harm.
Lee Zeldin is a piece of human garbage.
The dumb bastards from Long Island’s first congressional district that sent this guy to Congress should be hanging their heads and shame for being so goddamn gullible and stupid .
