"In February 2026, the EPA released a new statement finalizing its rescission, stating, 'Using the same types of models utilized by the previous administrations and climate change zealots, EPA now finds that even if the U.S. were to eliminate all GHG emissions from all vehicles, there would be no material impact on global climate indicators through 2100.'"
"The research behind this statement on alleged new findings from the EPA remains unclear. The EPA did not respond to NPQ's request for clarification."
"Nearly 20 nonprofits have come together from across different sectors to sue for the reinstatement of the Endangerment Finding, including the American Public Health Association, American Lung Association, Clean Air Council, Friends of the Earth."
In 2009, the EPA issued the Endangerment Finding based on research linking climate change to various health and environmental issues. This finding identified six greenhouse gases as significant contributors to global warming and established regulatory standards for emissions from vehicles and power plants. In February 2026, the EPA rescinded this finding, claiming no significant impact on global climate indicators from U.S. emissions reductions. This decision has led to a coalition of nearly 20 nonprofits suing for the reinstatement of the Endangerment Finding, questioning the validity of the EPA's new statement.
