The air you breathe.

The water your children drink.

The stability of the world they'll inherit.

All of it hangs in the balance as the Trump administration launches yet another assault on science, public health, and our shared environment.

Donald Trump recently announced the EPA is revoking the Endangerment Finding—a cornerstone of climate protection that's stood for sixteen years.

This isn't just another policy reversal.

It's an attack on established science, legal precedent, and the health of every American.

What's Really at Stake

The EPA's Endangerment Finding, established in 2009, is a legally binding scientific determination that six greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare.

This finding gave the federal government the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.

It wasn't political theater—it was based on comprehensive scientific evidence reviewed by experts worldwide.

For nearly two decades, this finding has protected Americans from the worst impacts of climate pollution.

It's enabled regulations that have reduced harmful emissions, improved air quality, and saved countless lives.

The scientific consensus supporting it isn't debatable—the vast majority of climate scientists agree that greenhouse gas emissions harm public health.

The Lies Begin

Trump's dismissal of this established science is as brazen as it is dangerous. "It has nothing to do with public health," he claimed. "This was all a scam, a giant scam. This was a rip-off of the country by Obama and Biden."

These aren't just misleading statements—they're factually wrong.

Climate change directly impacts public health through increased heat-related deaths, respiratory illnesses from worsening air quality, the spread of vector-borne diseases, and health crises triggered by extreme weather events.

Hospitals see it.

Doctors see it.

Families living through unprecedented heat waves, floods, and wildfires see it.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright's spokesperson doubled down on the denial, claiming activists have "misrepresented not just the actual state of climate science, but also the so-called scientific consensus."

This gaslighting attempts to sow doubt where none exists among actual scientists.

Why This Won't Stand

Here's what Trump and his administration don't want you to know: this repeal is unlawful.

The Supreme Court decided years ago that climate pollution endangers people and human lives.

That legal precedent doesn't disappear because an administration finds it inconvenient.

Environmental groups, state attorneys general, and public health advocates are already preparing legal challenges.

The courts have consistently upheld science-based environmental protections because the law requires it.

You can't simply wish away established facts because they conflict with your political agenda or fossil fuel industry donors.

The Real Cost

This dangerous policy reversal threatens everything.

Increased emissions mean more children with asthma, more communities devastated by extreme weather, more lives lost to heat waves, and an accelerating climate crisis that will cost trillions in damages.

But we won't let this happen without a fight.

The science is clear.

The law is clear.

And the American people—who overwhelmingly support climate action—are clear about what's at stake.

This isn't about politics.

It's about survival.

It's about choosing facts over fiction, health over profits, and our children's future over corporate interests.

We've defended environmental protections before, and we'll do it again.

Because the air we breathe isn't negotiable.
