Trump team plots to CRIPPLE our ability to fight climate change Earthjustice: A record-breaking summer of heatwaves, wildfires, and floods has made it grimly clear that climate change is not only here to stay but getting worse faster than we expected. But instead of taking action to fight it, the Trump administration is trying to repeal the Endangerment Finding, the declaration that greenhouse gases endanger human lives and is the foundation of our ability to fight climate change. It’s an all-hands-on-deck moment to tell the Trump administration to not repeal the Endangerment Finding and stop putting the health and lives of millions of Americans now and for generations to come at serious risk. Add your name and make your voice heard!
