“Trump's Environmental Protection Agency wants to get rid of one of our most powerful tools for fighting climate change.
“It's called the 'endangerment finding.' It's the official declaration by the United States that the accumulation of greenhouse gases endangers human lives.
“So it's the government's job to protect us from the industries that emit the most. The finding is backed by indisputable science, and it's been upheld by the Supreme Court.
“This declaration is how we rein in heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide and methane from polluting giants like oil and gas operations and power plants. It's also how we reduced tailpipe pollution from cars and trucks.
“For 16 years, this finding has withstood every legal challenge that industries have thrown at it, including two that Earthjustice helped win.
“Now, the agency that literally has 'environmental protection' in its name is trying to repeal the endangerment finding, giving polluters a free pass while we pay the cost.
“This climate denialism will cost lives. Massive floods, droughts and wildfires are happening more frequently and with more destruction.
“Our government needs to face reality and protect us from the harms of climate pollution, not give lifelines to the industries that create it. We won't let Trump gaslight us into a future that destroys our health and our planet. And neither should you.
“The government is taking public comment right now, and we have until September 15 to tell them to keep their hands off our endangerment finding. Take action at earthjustice.org/finding.”
