Earlier this week, US President Donald J Trump essentially erased the scientific principle known as the emissions finding that states that greenhouse gases cause human suffering, according to NYTimesApp.
Since its inception in 2009, the endangerment finding (EF) had allowed the government to measure harmful emissions that harm human life.
EF is critical to environmental protection because it not only proves the existence of six lethal gases at various levels of the ozone layer but most importantly triggers the EPA to regulate the existence of these gases to save humanity based on the Clean Air Act.
At stake is the likelihood that the Supreme Court would uphold EPA’s decision to revoke EF, according to Sierra Club counsel.
Court strategists are clamoring for court defenders of the EF to begin their road to justice with the DC Circuit Court because it has already sided with EF in the recent past.
Furthermore, the courts have been recently reversing Trump’s actions in environmental law.
For example, not less than five decisions have recently been ruled in favor of environmental laws, including at least two wind-turbine farm cases that approved of complete development and use.
