California, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York are leading a group of 20 other states in suing the US Environmental Protection Agency for renouncing its ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. The lawsuit specifically argues that the EPA’s decision to rescind a 2009 study that determined greenhouse gases are dangerous to public health was illegal, impacting the agency’s ability to regulate emissions. The Trump administration’s rollback of environmental regulations has raised concerns about its impact on climate change and government authority. Winning the lawsuit or passing new legislation could restore the EPA’s role in fighting climate change.
