This headline sure makes it look like this is a religion, eh? A state run one
The Situation: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced an agenda to revisit numerous regulations addressing the emission of greenhouse gases (“GHGs”).
The Result: The Endangerment Finding and the social cost of carbon (“SCC”) are under active consideration and revisions of these could potentially impact many, if not all, climate change regulations on their own. In addition, specific rules addressing GHG emissions from motor vehicles, power plants, refrigeration units, and oil and gas wells are under consideration along with GHG reporting requirements.
Looking Ahead: EPA rulemaking should be monitored to determine the current status of GHG regulation.
On March 12, 2025, the EPA announced numerous actions aimed at reconsidering regulations, with a special focus on climate change regulations. While EPA targeted some climate change rules individually, the announced reconsideration of the Endangerment Finding and the SCC may compromise the legal underpinnings of all GHG regulation.
EPA’s Administrator Lee Zeldin took particular aim at the 2009 Endangerment Finding, saying, “I’ve been told the Endangerment Finding is considered the Holy Grail of the climate change religion.” The Endangerment Finding stems from the Supreme Court’s holding in Massachusetts v. EPA. The Court concluded that GHGs fall under the Clean Air Act’s definition of “air pollutant,” and that EPA “offered no reasoned explanation for its refusal to decide whether [GHGs] cause or contribute to climate change.” The Court noted that the Clean Air Act requires regulation of air pollutants that in EPA’s “judgment cause, or contribute to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.” In 2009, EPA found that GHG emissions do endanger public health and welfare. This finding, called the Endangerment Finding, allows EPA to regulate GHGs.
They just magically found this without input from the duly elected Legislative Branch. Just created it out of thin air. Here’s hoping Zeldin can shitcan these two things, though, you know the climate cult will file lawsuit after lawsuit, and find like minded judges, so, it’s going to have to end up at the Supreme Court. But, really, if one admin can get this through, why can’t another kill it?
Elwood P Dowd hurt worst!
Climate denialism is a branch of the MAGAt cult (religion). Was fishing in the Gulf of Mexico this week and our guide described how warming is changing the distribution of species. He was no crazy lib.
About as reliable as any other “scientific” evidence provided by Rimjob.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
I passed through the Gulf of America last weekend driving my 35 footer from Tampa to my dad’s dock in Palm Beach. So now you rely on your epert fishing gide for climate updates? Thankfully he pointed out what we’re all aware of we call it “migration’. Now that you updated your knowlege of weather all tou needis to update your geography to “Gulu of america and you will be 2025.
Our socialist from St Louis erred:
You mean you were fishing in the Gulf of America this week!
The nazi from North Tennessee erred. According to my cap we were in the Gulf of Mexico. And not person there mentioned the Gulf of America. Must be a MAGAt thing.
Our Trumper host called it the Gulf of Mexico and noted the astronauts were said to have landed (watered?) in the Gulf of Mexico.
In fact, during our investigational journey through IL, KY, TN, AL, GA and FL, we heard nary a comment about the Gulf, trannies, illegals, DOGE…
We sat with a family where the adults were Trump voters. The grandfather was on hospice, not conscious. His son, a pharma exec, stroked his dying father’s head as I held his father’s hand. They knew we were “left-wingers”, but not a cruel word. The grandfather died.
We talked with waiters, clerks, students – no assholes among them.
Yet, Trump, Bowman and Musk and their ANONYMOUS mindless followers ARE assholes.
America needs to Get Rid of Asshole Blusterers (GRAB)
Ah there’s that caring meaningful hate from the Rimjob.
Do you think fat Jeff is gay. Sure acts it.
