Climate, Health Groups Sue Epa Over Axed Regulation

More than a dozen climate and health groups are suing the Environmental Protection Agency over its axing of a rule that declared greenhouse gases a threat to public health. The lawsuit names the EPA and its administrator, Lee Zeldin, as defendants.

The agency eliminated what's known as the Endangerment Finding, saying it hurts business. The finding has been the legal basis for us climate regulations since 2009. The head of one of the groups involved in the suit said the move is "rooted in falsehoods" and called it "a complete dereliction of the agency's mission to protect people's health."
