Summary
- The EPA, led by administrator Lee Zeldin, plans to change a rule from Obama’s time that lets it set greenhouse gas emissions rules
- This rule, termed the endangerment finding, would be reversed by the new proposal and could affect climate policy in the US
- The EPA argues that the Clean Air Act does not, in fact, authorise the agency to set emissions standards to address global climate change
- Once the proposal has been reviewed following a period of public comment, a final rule will be introduced and is likely to be legally challenged.
