AG ​Campbell issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) final rule rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which determined that greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles contribute to air pollution that drives climate change and endangers public health and welfare.  

“EPA’s unlawful rescission of the 2009 Endangerment Finding shows just how far this Administration will go to grant favors to polluters—ignoring clear Supreme Court precedent, basic facts, and decades of scientific research, all at the expense of our health and welfare. Two decades ago, the AG’s office led the fight to force the federal government to protect the American people from the proven dangers of greenhouse gas emissions, and we will lead once again against the Trump Administration’s attempt to walk away from that responsibility. I’ll see them in Court.” – AG Campbell
