February 13, New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has announced the repeal of a scientific finding that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to human health, effectively removing the legal basis for federal climate regulations.
This decision also ends subsequent greenhouse gas emission standards for all vehicles and engines, covering model years from 2012 to 2027.
This move represents the most significant rollback of climate change policy by the administration to date, following a series of regulatory cuts and other measures aimed at promoting the development of fossil fuels and slowing the implementation of clean energy initiatives.
