Zeldin Moves to Overturn EPA’s 2009 Climate Threat Finding

On Tuesday, Zeldin moved to revoke a controversial 16-year-old ruling that labeled six greenhouse gases as a danger to public health, an Obama-era finding that’s been used to justify sweeping federal climate regulations. By targeting the so-called “endangerment finding,” Zeldin is taking direct aim at the legal foundation behind aggressive government mandates on cars, power plants, and other industries—regulations that have burdened the economy under the guise of fighting climate change.

Zeldin described the endangerment finding as “the Holy Grail of the climate change religion,” celebrating its reversal as a major victory. He said he was proud to see the EPA “do its part to usher in a new Golden Age of American success,” free from burdensome climate mandates.
