Dear Friend, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin is hoping to mark a big milestone in Trump’s “Polluters First Agenda” by repealing the Endangerment Finding. This 2009 determination upholds the EPA’s requirement to protect Americans from the pollution causing the climate crisis, and it provides the authority for nearly every such protection at the federal level. By proposing to rescind it, Zeldin is denying the danger of our changing climate, even as it stokes a public health crisis right in front of our eyes. Trump and Zeldin are helping fossil fuel companies pollute as much as they want while exposing the rest of us to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which harms our health by driving climate change and extreme weather. The Trump Administration’s rejection of a long-held scientific consensus puts lives at risk all around the world by making it even harder to stop the climate crisis. The EPA is supposed to protect our health and environment, but this proposal does just the opposite. We need your help to set the record straight: tell EPA that this reckless move is bad for our health, environment, and wallets. | |
Rescinding the Endangerment Finding will put us all in significant danger: - Extreme weather will become more frequent and severe as greenhouse gases accumulate
- Water scarcity and food insecurity will spread as our planet bakes under extreme heat
- The environment as we know it will be lost to future generations
ACT NOW to stop Trump and Zeldin from abandoning the Endangerment Finding. | |
