President Donald Trump has effectively stricken the 2009 'endangerment finding, which was a groundbreaking scientific determination of the Obama era declaring greenhouse gases a danger to health. The endangerment finding has been the basis for which nearly all of President Obama’s climate change regulations, including fuel efficiency for cars and emissions controls for power plants, have been enacted. The change represents what the White House is calling the 'largest deregulation in American history,' one which will decrease car prices by $2,400 and which has the potential to save the American economy over $1 trillion. However, legal experts have specified that the result of this overturning of the endangerment standard will be higher fuel prices for citizens, tens of thousands of premature deaths from pollution, and a slew of new climate change-related lawsuits. Trump’s hope, they explain, is to prevent a future president from bringing these regulations back with the legal support of the US Supreme Court.
