Health Groups Sue EPA Over Emission Standards Rollback
The Spin
Right narrative
Repealing the endangerment finding delivers the largest deregulatory victory in American history, restoring consumer choice. The Obama-era rule was never scientifically sound — climate models grossly overstate warming by 40-50%, and U.S. emissions reductions came from innovation, not heavy-handed mandates that drove up energy costs and threatened grid reliability. Returning regulatory power to Congress, rather than unelected bureaucrats, protects American competitiveness, jobs, and energy security while proving that environmental progress doesn't require economy-crushing regulations.
Left narrative
The EPA's repeal of the endangerment finding is an illegal abandonment of its legal duty to protect Americans from climate pollution that endangers public health and welfare, and it ignores overwhelming scientific evidence that the Supreme Court already validated. Eliminating vehicle emissions standards will force families to spend more on gas, increase pollution-related asthma and heat deaths in vulnerable communities and lock in decades of preventable harm while handing a massive giveaway to oil companies. The Trump administration's reckless climate denialism contradicts the agency's core mission and settled law under the Clean Air Act.
