US President Donald Trump announced a significant rollback of federal climate change policy, revoking an Obama-era 'endangerment finding' that held pollution harms public health and the environment. Trump framed the move as a political win over the Democratic Party's 'radical' environmental agenda, arguing it would lower energy costs for American consumers. The decision sparked fury among Democrats and environmental groups, who said it would hinder the US's ability to combat climate change. The rollback is part of a decade-long push by Trump to dismantle climate policies put in place by his Democratic predecessors.

US President Donald Trump has reversed a key Obama-era scientific ruling that deemed greenhouse gases a threat to public health. The 2009 'endangerment finding' was a crucial foundation for federal efforts to curb emissions, particularly in vehicles. Trump's administration claims the reversal will save over $1tn and reduce automobile manufacturers' spending by $2,400 per vehicle. Environmental groups argue the move is the most significant rollback on climate change yet and will lead to increased fuel costs and premature deaths. The decision is expected to be challenged in court, with many legal experts believing the Trump administration wants the proposal to be tested in the Supreme Court before Trump's term ends.
