The Climate Reality Project: Public Opposition To Repealing Endangerment Finding Flood The EPA

The Trump EPA wanted to repeal the landmark Endangerment Finding recognizing the threat of greenhouse gases and climate change to our health. Climate champions across the country said, “No way.” Together, we submitted over 7,500 comments urging EPA to protect the endangerment finding. In total, the agency received over 350,000 comments, after extending the comment period and adding a day to public hearings to allow for the influx of comments. The agency must now spend the time to consider and address each unique point in its final rule, risking lawsuits if not adequately done. One sign that the comments are working: EPA hasn’t been able to stick to its rushed end-of-year deadline for official repeal.
