No, the Bush-era EPA decided *not* to regulate greenhouse gases, was sued, and lost in the Supreme Court.

"There may come a time when the people elected to enact laws decide the modest benefits of regulating greenhouse gases outweigh the considerable economic costs." What a shocking thing to write. The Post is unrecognizable now. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
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.

Climate groups vow to fight rollback of 2009 finding determining CO2 and other greenhouse gases harm health
In what is set to be its most audacious anti-environment move yet, the Trump administration on Thursday will roll back the mechanism allowing the government to regulate planet-heating pollution, the White House press secretary has told reporters.
“President Trump will be joined by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to formalize the recession of the 2009 Obama-era endangerment finding,” Karoline Leavitt said at a press conference on Tuesday. “This will be the largest deregulatory action in American history.” Continue reading...

Trump is trying to repeal the "endangerment finding" -- the scientific investigation that led EPA to conclude that climate change is dangerous to humans.
It's scientifically unjustifiable of course, but they're going to have to justify it to a court. That should be fun to watch.

A perfect encapsulation of Trump's commitment to Project 2025. These environmental rollbacks aren't just favors to the fossil fuel industry. They are also weapons for enforcing racial and gender-based hierarchy.

As EPA weakens air pollution regulations, Black women stand to face the greatest health risks
They already face the highest rates of asthma-related mortality in the nation. Dirtier air will make that worse.

THERE'S NO MEANINGFUL US CLIMATE REGULATION TO WIPE OUT
look I want my government to acknowledge CO2 bad too but this is not a massive deregulatory victory or whatever

Pretty good summary of the forces arrayed against the CO2 endangerment finding. I think they are counting their chickens prematurely.

Reposting this analysis now that it seems likely EPA will finalize its withdrawal of the GHG endangerment finding. It's both less and more than it seems.
I have written about this before, when it was suggested as a possibility shortly after the inauguration. A quick summary here--in short, there's little clever or thoughtful about it, though there is some legal strategy at work, however cynical.
