I know you already guessed it but it is still shocking. Repealing the endangerment finding violates Us law but also breaches the US’ international obligations under the UNFCCC and in customary international law.

Government action on climate adaptation is accelerating.
Our new research, funded by the @zcralliance.bsky.social, shows that 75% of adaptation‑relevant laws and policies have been adopted since the Paris Agreement in 2015, and almost half since 2020.

If the federal government wants to more heavily regulate greenhouse gas emissions, Congress needs to pass a new law.

1) “in 2009, the EPA decided it would treat greenhouse gases like other pollutants, despite their damage being global rather than local.”
No, the Bush-era EPA decided *not* to regulate greenhouse gases, was sued, and lost in the Supreme Court.

Louisiana bets big on ‘blue ammonia.’ Communities along Cancer Alley brace for the cost.
Carbon capture hasn’t delivered major climate benefits — and the plants would still emit thousands of tons of pollution.
