The climate crisis is real. It drives deadly heatwaves, dangerous conditions, and destructive extreme weather events that are harming the American people and public health, damaging American businesses and communities, and destroying lives and livelihoods. Last year was the hottest year on record, and climate-fueled extreme weather events cost our country $222 billion. But the political leadership at the EPA reportedly wants to throw away the agency’s long-standing conclusion that greenhouse gas pollution endangers the American people. In doing so, they would ignore the blindingly obvious reality of the climate crisis that we can all see all around us. And they would be disregarding the EPA’s own scientists and lawyers in favor of the interests and profits of the fossil fuel industry. Weakening safeguards that the EPA has put in place to reduce greenhouse gas pollution would also harm American competitiveness in a global economy that is moving away from oil, gas, and coal. Doing so would harm the communities that suffer from the dirty co-pollutants of the burning of fossil fuels and hurt the American people who will continue to face the worsening impacts of the climate crisis as long as we continue to enable the fossil fuel industry to use our sky as if it were an open sewer.
