NEW: A newly updated reference manual for U.S. judges that provides answers to scientific and technical questions has eliminated some 90 pages about climate science.
It comes as numerous climate cases make their way through state and federal courts.

The attack on climate action in the US continues as efforts to revoke the endangerment finding get close to the finish line. At that point, ALL federal climate policies in the US will basically be cancelled. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/c...

Opinion | EPA is right to reverse Obama overreach
If the federal government wants to more heavily regulate greenhouse gas emissions, Congress needs to pass a new law.

Whatever the EPA tries to do this week, understand that a) it will still be challenged in court (probably successfully - though it might take a while); b) EPA is not doing much in any case; and c) most of the action in the US is at the state and local level.

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.
