EPA Administrator Defends Administration’s Move to Revoke 2009 Finding Pollution Endangers Human Health

UNITED STATES, AUG 3 – Zeldin argues the 2009 finding relied on pessimistic science and exceeded legal authority, claiming repeal could save $54 billion annually and reduce regulatory burdens on businesses.

  • EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin defended the Trump administration's repeal of the 2009 endangerment finding, stating that the previous assessment relied on pessimistic views of the science.
  • Zeldin emphasized the importance of using 2025 facts instead of 2009 bad assumptions.
  • If the repeal is successful, it could undermine federal efforts to control planet-warming pollution and limit the government's ability to address climate change.
  • Zeldin noted that many 2009 scientific pessimistic views did not come true and emphasized adherence to the law as clarified by the Supreme Court.
