The Environmental Protection Agency just became the Environmental Destruction Agency The Trump administration's unprecedented rollback of environmental regulations threatens to cause immense harm to public health and our shared environment. Revoking rules limiting pollution from power plants, vehicles, and industry will inevitably lead to dirtier air and water, exacerbating respiratory illnesses, cancers, and other serious health impacts across the nation. Overturning findings on the dangers of climate change dismisses overwhelming scientific evidence and paves the way for unchecked greenhouse gas emissions driving catastrophic global warming. These actions prioritize narrow corporate profits over human welfare and our children's future. They represent an abject dereliction of the EPA's core mission to protect Americans and their communities.
