“Tuesday’s decision by the Environmental Protection Agency to revoke the EPA’s declaration that greenhouse gases pose a threat to human health and to eliminate the ability of the EPA to combat climate change blatantly and willfully ignores the vast body of scientific evidence and legal protection around our growing climate crisis.
This proposal is also a gift from the Trump administration to fossil fuel companies to pollute and profit at the expense of our health, communities, and pocketbooks. It also means organizations like RAN and our supporters will be fighting harder than ever to demand that our government place people above profits and plan for a sustainable, healthy future — instead of selling us out to the highest profiteers.” – Njambi Good, Deputy Executive Director, Rainforest Action Network
