Dear NRDC Supporter,

We’ve seen countless* attacks on our
environment and public health since the Trump administration took
office.

But none as dangerous as the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) push to reverse the
“endangerment finding” — its own scientific finding that carbon
dioxide, methane, and other climate-changing pollutants endanger
our health and our planet.

Check out our FAQ below to learn more
about the endangerment finding and why it’s critical that we stop
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s attempt to repeal it.

Q: What’s the history of the endangerment
finding and why is it so important?

A: In the landmark 2007 Supreme Court
decision, Massachusetts v. EPA, in which NRDC was a litigant, the
Court ruled in our favor that the EPA must determine whether
greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. When the EPA
reviewed the science, the evidence was overwhelming: Greenhouse
gases do endanger Americans’ health and well-being.

That 2009 finding has since become the
legal foundation for many important air and greenhouse gas
pollution standards under the Clean Air Act, like:
* The regulation of carbon emissions
from vehicles, the largest source of carbon pollution in the
United States
* Limiting carbon pollution from fossil fuel-fired power plants
* Creating standards for methane emissions from oil and gas
drilling

These standards have undeniably made our air
cleaner and safer. And since 2009, the evidence linking
greenhouse gas pollution to climate change has only grown,
providing a stronger legal basis for these standards. But without
the endangerment finding, the federal government loses its
authority to curb climate pollution from vehicles, power plants,
and industries.

Q: What role have NRDC members already played in
helping block the Trump administration’s efforts to repeal the
endangerment finding?

A: NRDC submitted over 56,000 public comments
from members like you urging the EPA to uphold the endangerment
finding. And NRDC’s experts themselves submitted over 500 pages
of legal and technical comments opposing rollbacks of the
endangerment finding.

Q: It feels like the Trump administration doesn’t
consider public input into important federal decisions. Why was
it so important to get huge numbers of public comments defending
the endangerment finding?

A: Public comments are critical to NRDC's legal
strategy to defend the endangerment finding. Even though it
appears the Trump administration is taking steps to limit or
disregard public input in important federal decisions — like
repealing the endangerment finding — your comments will serve as
the legal basis for NRDC taking the Trump administration to court
to stop the repeal of the endangerment finding.

Even though the formal comment period is over,
it's important to keep up the drumbeat against this repeal and
remind the administration that the public is against this
proposal. Send a letter to the EPA urging them to uphold their
mandate to protect us from climate-busting pollution. ( [link removed] )

Q: Is NRDC prepared to take the Trump
administration to court if it follows through with its unlawful
attack on the endangerment finding?

A: Yes.

In the coming months, we expect a decision by the
EPA about the future of the endangerment finding, and if they
attempt to rescind it, we will see them in court.

Fringe climate deniers have tried to attack the
endangerment finding for years — and courts have rejected every
attempt. We’re confident this attempt by the Trump administration
will also fail.

In a world of more frequent wildfires, floods,
droughts, and storms, too much is at stake. We can’t let the
Trump administration get away with handouts to big polluters
while the rest of us and future generations pay the price for
these climate disasters fueled by their pollution.

You can read more about the endangerment finding,
what’s at stake, and how NRDC is fighting back. ( [link removed] )
