Abstract

The article discusses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which has been crucial for regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act (CAA). If finalized, this rescission could significantly limit the EPA's role in greenhouse gas regulation, potentially leaving a regulatory gap that states may not be able to fill due to the CAA's preemptive effects. The article highlights the legal complexities surrounding this issue, including the implications for state regulations and the ongoing uncertainty regarding the EPA's authority to address climate change. It emphasizes the urgent need for effective action to reduce emissions in light of recent climate science findings. [Extracted from the article]
