In 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Endangerment Finding labeled greenhouse gas emissions a threat to public health and welfare. Now, with mounting empirical evidence, improved climate models, and real-world observations, the EPA is reconsidering that determination. New data reveals a more nuanced climate reality than in 2009.
Climate policy continues to carry enormous economic and legal implications, and reconsidering the Endangerment Finding is both justified and necessary.
