👇📌TLDR: For those short on time:
- Trump plans to repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding this week
- The repeal removes the legal status of CO2 as a pollutant
- This move cancels the legal basis for federal greenhouse gas regulations
- The EPA estimates this action cuts $1 trillion in regulatory costs
- Average vehicle prices may drop by $2,400 due to lower standards
- Environmental groups will challenge the decision in federal court

Trump to wipe out “Endangerment Finding” and pardon CO2 in largest act of deregulation in US history | Jo Nova
Trump to throw Saurons ring into the volcano this week — soon CO2 will NOT be legally classed as pollution that endangers human life
Trump always wanted to cut the power of the “Climate Change Hoax” at the source, which was the 2009 Endangerment Finding. It is the excuse for Big Government to get itself into your car, house, air, steaks and factories while thieving from your wallet.
A spokesman at the EPA described this as “one of the most damaging decisions in modern history” so we know it hurts The Blob.
The Endangerment Finding was the 2009 legal determination that CO2 caused everything bad, and therefore government agencies had an obligation to protect the public from it, and companies had to track emissions, cars had to be purified, emissions had to be tracked and certified.
Trump to Repeal Landmark Climate Finding in Huge Regulatory Rollback
Meridith McGraw and Benoît Morenne, The Wall Street Journal
The Trump administration is planning this week to repeal the Obama-era scientific finding that serves as the legal basis for federal greenhouse-gas regulation, according to U.S. officials, in the most far-reaching rollback of U.S. climate policy to date.
The reversal targets the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which concluded that six greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and welfare. The finding provided the legal underpinning for the Environmental Protection Agency’s climate rules, which limited emissions from power plants and tightened fuel-economy standards for vehicles under the Clean Air Act.
“This amounts to the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in an interview.
Officials said the rollback would equate to more than $1 trillion in regulation cuts, though they didn’t provide details on how they came up with the number. They said that rescinding the finding would result in an average per-vehicle cost savings of more than $2,400. Public health and environmental groups have said federal climate regulations help prevent hundreds of thousands of premature deaths each year.
Big-Government hellfire is tied to the Endangerment Finding. Like Sauron’s ring of power it was sacred, must not be questioned, binds all others, and centralizes control in the hands of a central authority (like the EPA). And like The One Ring of Middle Earth it would corrupt even the good hearted.
The immediate effect of this is said to be on cars. But there will be legal wrangling. Environmental groups will challenge the finding in court, dragging out the process for years. The Environmental Defence fund called the endangerment finding “a vital tool”. Eventually this opens the door to reducing rules in other areas like power plants, and oil and gas infrastructure.
One official estimated this would save a trillion dollars in regulatory costs — which also means a trillion dollars worth of dependent workers will need to find other jobs.
