The overwhelming scientific evidence tells us that air pollutants, like greenhouse gas emissions, are harming the health of the American public. ACP is disappointed by the EPA’s decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding. We need to continue to work to reduce greenhouse gases and mitigate the harm they cause to the health of our patients.
Today, the EPA chose to abandon its key responsibility by repealing the #EndangermentFinding. This decision will make people sicker and leave families to pay the cost, all while shielding polluters from accountability. Read our statement here: medsocietiesforclimatehealth…

The Consortium is keeping all those impacted by Hurricane Helene in our thoughts as they work to rebuild both physically and mentally. We stand with communities in need of a just recovery and demand action on the root cause of these unnatural disasters: the fossil fuel industry.
Hurricane Helene has killed at least 100 people caught in catastrophic flooding and landslides across the Southeast. It is projected to be one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history. Climate scientist Peter Kalmus says this was “caused by the fossil fuel industry."

There is a possibility of long-duration power outages in portions of the southeast U.S. If you use a generator after the storm, be sure it is placed outside at least 20 feet away from doors, windows, and garages to avoid deadly carbon monoxide poisoning.
