California AG Challenges Trump's Environmental Rollback
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with other Democratic AGs, opposes the Trump administration's plan to revoke the finding that greenhouse gases harm human health, potentially undermining U.S. emissions regulations. The EPA's repeal would affect restrictions on emissions from various sources and hinder efforts to address climate change.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with his Democratic counterparts, is urging the Trump administration to reconsider its proposal to rescind the crucial finding that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to human health. This legal determination underpins all U.S. greenhouse gas regulations.
The Environmental Protection Agency's potential repeal, if enacted, would abolish current emission limits from vehicle tailpipes, power plants, smokestacks, among other sources, severely impacting regulatory measures.
This move could significantly hinder the United States' ability to combat global warming, prompting a concerted opposition from state attorneys general determined to maintain environmental protections.
