Groups Sue EPA Over Climate Rule Revocation
Health and environmental groups sued the Environmental Protection Agency. They challenged the EPA's revocation of the endangerment finding.
This legal ruling is the basis for US federal climate rules. The lawsuit was filed in Washington DC circuit court.
The EPA revoked the finding last week. Legal experts expect appeals. The case may reach the Supreme Court.
Klear Note — The endangerment finding lets the EPA make climate rules. Without it, the EPA loses power to regulate greenhouse gases. This ruling is the legal foundation for US climate policy.
Key Terms 2
