Environmental Groups Sue Trump Admin Over Dismantled Climate Rule

  • A coalition of environmental and health groups filed suit against the Trump administration's repeal of a key scientific finding underpinning federal climate regulations.
  • The lawsuit argues that the Trump administration's elimination of greenhouse gas standards on automobiles and other rules was illegal.
  • The 2009 "endangerment finding" stated that greenhouse gases harm public health and was central to decades of federal climate policy.
  • Groups like the American Lung Association, Sierra Club, and Center for Biological Diversity are part of the coalition.
  • The Trump administration's justifications for the repeal are challenged, with the coalition citing Supreme Court reaffirmations of the endangerment finding.
