The U.S. government, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, announced on Thursday, the 12th, the revocation of a scientific finding from a 2009 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report. According to Ming Pao, this finding had previously identified greenhouse gas emissions as a threat to public health and welfare. The announcement described this action as the largest single rollback of such regulations in U.S. history. This move is considered one of the most significant reversals in climate policy by the Trump administration to date.
