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.
