What happened

The Trump Environmental Protection Agency repealed the Endangerment Finding, which had asserted that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare. Lee Zeldin was appointed EPA Administrator, and the EPA has implemented a rollback allowing coal plants to continue operations.
