Climate groups sue Trump administration over EPA’s bombshell deregulation decision Climate activist groups have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, specifically targeting the EPA’s decision to revoke an Obama-era “endangerment finding.” This finding, which asserted that pollution and climate change harm the American public, underpins various climate regulations. The lawsuit argues that revoking this finding and vehicle emission safeguards is a violation of the EPA’s mission and the Clean Air Act.

• Nearly 20 climate activist groups have sued the Trump administration and the EPA.
• The lawsuit aims to block the revocation of the Obama-era “endangerment finding.”
• The “endangerment finding” declared that pollution and climate change harm Americans, justifying climate regulations.
• Groups argue the EPA’s action is a “dereliction of the agency’s mission” and a violation of the Clean Air Act.
• The Trump administration views this deregulation as cutting red tape.
