US states file lawsuit challenging Trump’s revocation of climate finding
AI Summary
Twenty-three US states, led by California and New York, have filed a legal challenge against the Trump administration's revocation of the "endangerment finding," a 2009 determination that climate change threatens human health and the environment. The petition, filed in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, includes nine cities, several counties, the US Virgin Islands, the District of Columbia, and Pennsylvania's Governor. The "endangerment finding" formed the basis for regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy. The Trump administration repealed the finding on February 12, calling it a setback for the fossil fuel industry and the "single largest deregulatory action in US history." Critics view the rescission as an effort to roll back environmental protections.
