US Dismisses CO2 Risks, Climate Science Disagrees

Quick Summary

• The Trump administration seeks to repeal the US EPA’s 2009 “Endangerment Finding,” which allows regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, arguing they don’t pose a meaningful danger to humans.
• EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called this plan “the largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States.”
• Environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, intend to sue against this proposed change. Critics call the legal reasoning behind it weak and unsupported by climate science.
• A Department of Energy draft report backing this move claims CO2’s potential benefits (e.g., enhanced plant growth) outweigh its harm but has been criticized for cherry-picking favorable evidence while ignoring broader scientific consensus and context.
• Experts highlight that overwhelming scientific evidence indicates greenhouse gases pose significant risks globally,including rising health hazards and environmental devastation tied to extreme weather events intensified by climate change.
