Trump’s EPA to repeal core of greenhouse gas rules in a major deregulatory move. This is, without a doubt, the biggest deregulatory step in U.S. history, and it’s setting off alarm bells everywhere. It’s like they’re actively dismantling the safeguards put in place to protect our environment and, by extension, our health. The sheer scale of this move is hard to fathom, with consequences that will ripple through every aspect of life.
EPA head claims carbon dioxide’s benefits are overlooked, which, frankly, is a jaw-dropping statement. This is, to put it mildly, a controversial take, going directly against the mountain of scientific evidence that points to the detrimental impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.… Continue reading
The Trump administration is seeking to overturn the EPA’s 2009 “endangerment finding,” which classified greenhouse gas emissions as a threat and served as the basis for climate regulations. This proposal aims to revoke the government’s authority to regulate pollutants from burning fossil fuels, like carbon dioxide and methane, under the Clean Air Act. The administration argues this move would drive down costs and boost American energy production, while critics express concerns about undermining climate action and benefiting the fossil fuel industry. The EPA is making legal arguments that the previous administration overstepped their authority. This decision faces potential legal challenges and could take years to resolve.

In May 2025, measurements at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory revealed a record-high average atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration of 430.2 ppm, a 3.5 ppm increase from the previous year. This surpasses the 400 ppm threshold, previously considered unimaginable, and signifies the highest level in millions of years, attributed to human fossil fuel consumption. The data, collected by Scripps Institution of Oceanography and NOAA, continues a long-term record illustrating the escalating impact of greenhouse gases on the planet’s climate and ecosystems. These measurements, integrated into the Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network, provide crucial information for policymakers addressing climate change.
