The Environmental Protection Agency ranks among the most malignant of the bloated and largely pernicious agencies comprising the Deep State. It attacks our freedom and standard of living by pretending that carbon dioxide — which plants need to grow and which is an inevitable product of literally all human activity — is a pollutant because like water vapor it might influence the temperature. But the jig may be up — as the taxpayer-subsidized leftists at Associated Press fretfully report:
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called for a rewrite of the agency’s finding that determined planet-warming greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare…
The 2009 finding under the Clean Air Act is the legal underpinning of a host of climate regulations for motor vehicles, power plants and other pollution sources.
This finding was inflicted by the Obama Administration while implementing its policy of managed decline.
Zeldin’ recommendation comes in response to a Trump executive order.
The order, issued on Trump’s first day in office, directed the EPA to submit a report “on the legality and continuing applicability” of the endangerment finding.
Steve Milloy weighs in:
“If you pull this (finding) out, everything EPA does on climate goes away,’’ Milloy told the AP.
Zeldin reported plans to eliminate around 65% of EPA bureaucrats. The appropriately reduced workforce should dedicate itself to protecting the environment rather than imposing leftism via the Trojan horse of the global warming hoax.
