Through multiple actions, Attorney General Bonta and multistate partners, stand up for climate science, oppose EPA’s proposal to repeal all the federal motor vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards that protect the health and safety of Americans
OAKLAND – California Attorney General Rob Bonta today co-led a coalition of 23 attorneys general and seven counties and cities in filing a comment letter opposing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed rescission of its landmark 2009 finding that greenhouse gas emissions, including from motor vehicles, drive climate change and endanger public health and welfare. This finding is known as the Endangerment Finding. Last month, the Trump Administration announced its proposal to rescind the Endangerment Finding, claiming that EPA lacks authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, as well as to eliminate all existing EPA greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles.
“The EPA’s rescission proposal is not just a step backward — it is a dangerous retreat from science and the law,” said Attorney General Bonta. “To suggest that greenhouse gas emissions don’t endanger public health is absolutely reckless. Let’s be clear: This proposed rollback does not serve the public. It serves bad actor polluters. It prioritizes fossil fuel interests over scientific truth. It puts short-term oil profits ahead of public health and combatting climate change. We cannot allow it; the stakes are too high. We urge the EPA to withdraw this proposal.”
