National Academy Says Evidence Refutes EPA Bid to Revoke Endangerment Finding

The conclusion challenges the administration's proposal now in public comment.

Overview

  • The National Academy of Sciences said the health risks from human‑driven climate change are beyond scientific dispute and stronger than in 2009.
  • The EPA proposed in July to rescind the Endangerment Finding, arguing it relied on flawed reasoning and led to costly regulations, a claim the agency reiterated in response.
  • More than 1,000 scientists delivered a letter denouncing the rollback and criticizing a DOE‑commissioned report that experts say contains errors and mischaracterizes climate data.
  • An Associated Press survey and a separate review by 85 climate experts found the administration’s supporting analysis biased and unfit for policymaking.
  • The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee requested documents from two dozen companies and groups about lobbying on the rollback, as environmental nonprofits sued alleging improper convening of climate contrarians.
