Congressional lawmakers are pushing back on Trump administration plans to end greenhouse gas reporting requirements for top polluters.
At least one Republican has joined the flurry of members wanting the administration to save the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), which has tracked the climate emissions of major polluters for the last 15 years.
The pressure campaign comes as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle see potential compromise related to tariffs against dirty imports.
Sens. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, joined forces in a letter to EPA. They called the reporting program necessary to demonstrate that American exports are cleaner than global competitors like China.
