Longtime haters of government climate rules are celebrating this week.
After working for more than a decade to unravel EPA’s so-called endangerment finding, their dreams are on their way to coming true. After the first Trump administration declined to tackle the Obama-era determination that underpins government climate regulations, Trump 2.0 this week proposed axing the finding.
“It’s a great day for America,” Myron Ebell, who led Trump’s EPA transition team in 2016, said in an interview this week.

Ebell is among the conservatives who hoped to see the first Trump administration topple the 2009 determination that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and welfare, a finding that triggered EPA rules to clamp down on emissions.
