Conservative climate change policy skeptics are ramping up scientific and economic arguments for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to quickly and fully reverse its greenhouse gas endangerment finding and climate rules, highlighting claims that the agency is likely to weigh when it launches a process to re-examine the landmark 2009 risk finding.
Many industry representatives are wary of EPA’s expected push to rescind the endangerment finding. Bracewell’s Jeff Holmstead, who led EPA’s air office during the George W. Bush administration, told Inside EPA he does not think the agency “will be successful in reversing the endangerment finding. I don’t think it will hold up in court.”
