(Washington) The government of Donald Trump will return to a major 2009 decision on Tuesday which was used to fight so far in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, announced Lee Zeldin, the boss of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

“Later in the day, we are going to make a big announcement” concerning the 2009 decision, called “endangerment finding” (“endangerment report”), which constitutes the legal basis of very numerous regulations aimed at combating global warming, he said in the right podcast Ruthless Podcast.

Driven by a judgment of the Supreme Court, the EPA estimated during the first mandate of Barack Obama that greenhouse gases were dangerous for public health and, as a result, it was competent to regulate their emissions under a law of 1970, the Clean Air Act.

According to the boss of the EPA, the agency made at the time “intellectual shortcuts” during the development of this decision, which is however based on several research and an overwhelming scientific consensus.

“Conservatives love the environment, want to be good environmental goalkeepers,” added Lee Zeldin on Tuesday.

But “there are people who (…) are ready to ruin the country in the name of environmental justice,” he said.

This reform, which will have to go through a public consultation phase, should in particular allow a vast deregulation for the automotive sector.

The transport sector is the first source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, most of the Americans using the car for its daily trips.

If the American transport sector was a country, it would be the fourth most emitting greenhouse gas in the world, according to the NGO Natural Resources Defense Council.

” Attack ”

Dan Becker, of the Environmental Association Center for Biological Diversity, assured AFP that this decision had resisted several legal assaults. “But this time, it is the government itself that leads the attack,” he deplored.

This return to the American executive will be, in all likelihood, disputed before the courts, and will undoubtedly go back to the Supreme Court. Give right to the Trump administration would return to a reversal of case law: it is a decision of the highest judicial body, in 2007, which was originally the “endanger Finding”.

“I hope that (the judges) will recognize that this is science, and not of politics,” added Dan Becker. But the Supreme Court is “very politicized,” he said.

Today it is made up of six conservative judges against three progressives.

Since his return to the White House in January, Donald Trump has left the Paris climate agreement and favored the exploitation of gas and oil, especially in wild regions of Alaska.

This announcement comes in full heat wave on the east coast of the country, and while the planet lived in 2024 the hottest year ever recorded.
