The federal agency is said to be drafting a proposal to reverse a ruling that greenhouse gases are bad for human health.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to repeal all greenhouse gas emission standards for light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicles and engines in the coming days after it removes the scientific finding that justified those rules,

The administration’s approach, led by White House and Justice Department officials, would focus on a legal rather than a scientific rationale for repealing the so-called endangerment finding.

"This is a five-alarm fire." According to The New York Times, the Trump administration has drafted a proposal to rescind the EPA's 2009 "endangerment finding," a scientific determination that greenhouse gas emissions pose a risk to human health and well-being.

The EPA appears to be taking the wrong approach to fixing the endangerment finding by repealing it through executive rule making.
