Attorneys General Sue EPA for Scrapping Carbon Dioxide Endangerment Finding
A coalition of 25 attorneys general, led by Californias Rob Bonta, has sued the EPA for reversing its 2009 finding that carbon dioxide pollution endangers public health and the environment. The lawsuit argues this move violates the Clean Air Act and disregards scientific evidence and court rulings. The endangerment finding, based on a 2007 Supreme Court decision, was the foundation for federal vehicle emission standards. However, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin reversed it, citing recent rulings like the 2024 Loper Bright case. State leaders warn the rollback favors fossil fuel interests over public health and climate impacts. The lawsuit is consolidating in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, with 25 Republican-led states supporting the EPA. The coalition seeks to strike down the reversal and reinstate emission rules, as legal battles intensify over climate safeguards.
