AG Campbell, AG Bonta, and AG Brown, co-leading a coalition of 19 AGs and New York City, filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, challenging its rule that would weaken regulations designed to phase out the use of the climate super-pollutants hydrofluorocarbons in commercial equipment.

“Many Massachusetts families are already struggling with the high cost of living, and the effects of climate change, like wildfire smoke, are impacting our daily lives. Yet the Trump Administration is delaying the transition to cleaner refrigerants in favor of more polluting alternatives. That decision will increase the cost of cooling our homes, increase costs for businesses that may ultimately be passed on to consumers, and exacerbate climate change and its harmful effects on Massachusetts residents. I will continue fighting to protect Massachusetts consumers, defend our public health and welfare, and hold the federal administration accountable for unlawful actions.” -AG Campbell
