‘The Holy Grail of federal overreach’: Trump puts Obama’s greenhouse gas rule in the landfill

U.S. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin

Describing the “scientific finding” used as the reason for regulating greenhouse gases, adopted under Barack Obama’s administration, as “the Holy Grail of federal overreach,” President Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on Thursday confirmed the cancellation of that foundation for air quality regulation.

A report from KHOU revealed it was the “endangerment finding,” the assumption that carbon dioxide and other gases somehow threatened public health and welfare, that was dropped.
