D.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration has made another in-your-face move away from global greenhouse gas-reduction commitments by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/climate-environment\/2025\/02\/22\/trump-federal-scientists-climate-work-ipcc\/\">barring<\/a>&nbsp;U.S. officials from traveling to China to participate in an international conference to draft the next UN&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/trump-freezes-spending-for-bidens-massive-climate-initiative\">climate<\/a>&nbsp;assessment. Trump is also on the verge of jettisoning an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) policy that served as the backbone of U.S.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/cutting-pollution-to-prevent-climate-change-has-accelerated-climate-change-report\">climate&nbsp;<\/a>regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon receiving the news that the trip to Hangzhou, China for a Feb. 24 to 28 meeting of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was a no go, Katherine Calvin, NASA\u2019s chief scientist and senior climate adviser was likely disappointed. Lest anyone miss the message, NASA also terminated its contract with a U.S.-based group of scientists and staff who were working closely with Calvin on the IPCC\u2019s next climate assessment, due to be released in 2029, the Washington Post reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IPCC has issued six climate assessments since the<a href=\"https:\/\/humanevents.com\/2024\/11\/13\/un-leaders-brace-for-change-in-us-climate-policy-under-trump-admin\">&nbsp;U.N<\/a>. body\u2019s creation in 1988. The release of each of these, accompanied by great fanfare, has triggered warnings of dire consequences unless global emissions of greenhouse gases are not substantially reduced. With the absence of American participation in drafting the next report, calls for climate-related sacrifices by governments of other major emitters of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases risk encountering political resistance. After all, if the U.S. isn\u2019t playing, is there really a game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shunning of the U.N. climate working group comes on the heels of Trump\u2019s Jan. 20 executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the December 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, something he had done in his first term, only to have the Biden administration rejoin the pact in 2021. Now Trump is going one step further by scuttling U.S. cooperation in crafting the next IPCC Climate Assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than move away from fossil fuels in the spirit of global climate negotiators, Washington is headed in the opposite direction. Trump officials at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for example, have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/us-army-corps-lists-600-emergency-projects-bypass-environmental-review-2025-02-19\/\">identified<\/a>&nbsp;over 600 energy and other infrastructure projects to be fast-tracked under Trump\u2019s day-one declaration of a National Energy Emergency. Projects include an oil pipeline under Lake Michigan, several natural gas power plants, and new liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminals on the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Abandoning an EPA Regulatory Tool<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of even greater importance is EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin\u2019s Feb. 26&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/climate-environment\/2025\/02\/26\/epa-endangerment-finding-trump-climate\/\">recommendation<\/a>&nbsp;to the White House that his agency repeal an Obama-era finding that underpins EPA\u2019s authority to regulate man-made greenhouse gases. Known as the \u201cendangerment finding,\u201d the policy was rooted in a 2007 Supreme Court ruling, Massachusetts v. EPA, that said EPA had the authority to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two years later, Obama administration officials at EPA used the court\u2019s decision to limit emissions from coal-fired power plants and other sources. Under Biden, the regulations were expanded to include tailpipe emissions (leading to the EV mandate), restrictions on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/humanevents.com\/2025\/01\/09\/sweden-closes-churches-to-meet-climate-change-goals\">oil<\/a>&nbsp;and gas development on federal lands and waters, and even household appliances. Other federal agencies and numerous state agencies have cited the endangerment finding when imposing regulations costing billions of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Environmental groups are vowing to take the Trump EPA to court, aware of the threat that tossing the endangerment finding would pose to the entire climate-related regulatory structure. David Doninger of the Natural Resources Defense Council is optimistic that the Trump administration\u2019s effort will be shot down in the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis would be a fool\u2019s errand,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/epa-endangerment-finding-zeldin-trump-climate-change-4b34246d5ca798154af08560fd94f7b9\">he told<\/a>&nbsp;the Associated Press. \u201cIn the face of overwhelming science, it\u2019s impossible to think the EPA could develop a contradictory finding that would stand up in court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But during his Senate confirmation hearing in January, Zeldin rejected the idea that the Supreme Court had \u201cmandated\u201d that EPA treat manmade carbon dioxide as a pollutant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe decision does not require the EPA\u201d to act on greenhouse gases, \u201cit authorizes it,\u201d Zeldin told Massachusetts\u2019 Democrat Sen. Ed Markey. \u201cThere are steps the EPA would have to take in order for an obligation to be created.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markey and Dininger hew to the \u201cscience-is-settled\u201d narrative on human-induced climate change, according to which the only question is how rigorous regulations need to be to force the nation into a green-energy transition. Trump calls the whole enterprise a \u201cGreen New Scam,\u201d while Zeldin rejects the idea that his agency is legally bound to regulate greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forthcoming litigation will probably wind up at the Supreme Court, which in recent years has curtailed administrative agencies\u2019 power to regulate absent a specific congressional mandate. In its landmark 2022 decision, West Virginia v. EPA, the high court&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/21pdf\/20-1530_n758.pdf\">ruled<\/a>&nbsp;that EPA lacked congressional authority to issue a rule that led to the closure of coal-fired power plants in the Mountaineer State and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Challenging Zeldin could lead to the Supreme Court\u2019s revisiting, and perhaps even overturning, its 2007 decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, an outcome climate alarmists don\u2019t want to contemplate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This article originally appeared at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/humanevents.com\/2025\/03\/04\/bonner-cohen-trump-white-house-snubs-un-climate-talks-prepares-to-scuttle-epa-regulatory-tool\">Human Events<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration has made another in-your-face move away from global greenhouse gas-reduction commitments by\u00a0barring\u00a0U.S. officials from traveling to China to participate in an international conference to draft the next UN\u00a0climate\u00a0assessment.
