Washington, D.C.— U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin), a member of the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC), released the following statement following today’s reversal of the EPA’s endangerment finding.

“Few actions of this horrendous Trump regime endanger us more than terminating the endangerment finding— ignoring the science that greenhouse gases endanger human health,” said Rep. Doggett. “You don’t need to be a sailor to understand that turning off the lighthouse does not move the rocks.”

By rolling back decades of science-based protections, the Trump Administration is prioritizing corporate polluters over the American families who will ultimately pay the price for the many ways an overheated planet endangers us. 

Last year, Rep. Doggett led most Texas Democratic Congressmembers in opposing EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s initial proposal to effectively eliminate any federal ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and resultant protections.
