The climate change cult just got devastating news from Washington, D.C.
President Trump is preparing to deliver the knockout punch to their entire agenda.
And Donald Trump targeted one Obama rule for elimination that will make every American celebrate.
Trump moves to destroy the foundation of Democrat climate tyranny
The Trump administration has drafted a bombshell plan to essentially blow up the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
Sources close to the situation reveal that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is preparing to unleash a rule that will rescind the infamous 2009 Endangerment Finding – the very foundation of Obama and Biden’s climate change power grab.¹
The Endangerment Finding was Barack Obama’s sneaky way of declaring that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases could be regulated under the guise of protecting "human health and the environment."
But what it really did was hand the federal government unlimited power to crush American businesses, jack up energy costs, and destroy consumer choice.
For over 15 years, this single rule has been the weapon Democrats used to impose "trillions of dollars of costs on Americans" through their radical green agenda.²
Now Trump is taking a sledgehammer to the whole corrupt system.
EPA argues Obama administration massively overstepped its authority
The draft proposal reportedly argues that the EPA completely overreached its authority when it started regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
Here’s the dirty little secret the climate activists don’t want you to know: "The Clean Air Act was not designed to regulate gasses like carbon dioxide and it does not do so effectively," Myron Ebell, former director for the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Ebell has been sounding the alarm about this legal overreach for years.
The Obama administration basically hijacked a law meant to address traditional air pollution and twisted it into a tool for their climate change crusade.
The Trump EPA is now calling them out on this massive legal overreach.
"The 2009 Endangerment Finding was the first step in the Obama-Biden Administration’s (and later the Biden-Harris Administration’s) overreaching climate agenda," the EPA announced back in March when they first signaled this was coming.²
They weren’t kidding around.
Trump’s move will unleash American energy and protect consumer choice
If Trump successfully eliminates the Endangerment Finding, the ripple effects will be enormous.
All those crushing emissions rules on power plants that have been driving up your electricity bills? Gone.
The ridiculous vehicle emissions standards that limit your car choices and force automakers to push expensive electric vehicles nobody wants? History.
The forthcoming proposal reportedly takes direct aim at tailpipe emissions rules, arguing that these auto regulations actually harm human health by driving up costs and robbing consumers of choice.³
Think about that for a second – the Biden administration claimed their car regulations were about health, but Trump’s EPA is pointing out that making cars unaffordable actually hurts people.
It’s the kind of common-sense thinking that’s been missing from Washington, D.C. for way too long.
Democrats are about to lose their favorite weapon
For Democrats, the Endangerment Finding has been like having a loaded gun pointed at American industry.
Every time they wanted to impose new regulations, shut down power plants, or force Americans into electric vehicles, they just pointed to this 2009 rule and claimed they had no choice.
"Science demands it," they’d say with a straight face.
But now Trump is about to take that weapon away from them permanently.
The proposal will go through the full federal rulemaking process, including at least 30 days of public comment before Administrator Zeldin can sign it into law.
You can bet the environmental lobby is going to throw everything they’ve got at stopping this.
They know that without the Endangerment Finding, their entire climate change agenda collapses like a house of cards.
The broader war against government overreach
This move is about much more than just environmental regulations.
It’s about restoring the proper balance of power between the federal government and the American people.
For too long, unelected bureaucrats have been using creative interpretations of old laws to impose their radical agenda on the country.
The Clean Air Act was passed to address smog and traditional air pollution – not to give the government power to control every aspect of American energy production.
Trump’s EPA is finally saying enough is enough.
They’re demanding that regulations actually comply with the law and be based on sound science, not political ideology.
"EPA will ensure that the Endangerment Finding complies with the law and is based on sound science and policy, as it must do with all its actions," the agency announced.²
It’s a revolutionary concept in today’s Washington, D.C. – actually following the law.
This is exactly the kind of bold action that Trump’s supporters have been waiting for.
He promised to take on the Deep State and roll back government overreach, and he’s delivering in spectacular fashion.
The climate change cult is about to find out what happens when you mess with Donald Trump and the American people.
