In February 2026, the Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by Director Lee Zeldin, revoked the agency's 2009 "endangerment finding." This finding was a scientific conclusion that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels endanger public health and welfare. The announcement was made during an event at the White House. The revocation signifies that the EPA will no longer regulate greenhouse gases. The decision was made in conjunction with an executive order regarding coal.
