Gavin Newsom vows to sue Trump govt over decision to revoke EPA findings: ‘Breaking the law to grovel to oil industry’

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced his intention to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration following its decision to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) climate findings. For nearly 20 years, these findings have played a crucial role in regulating greenhouse gas emissions, which are key contributors to climate change. Newsom criticized the administration for prioritizing the interests of the oil industry over environmental protections, accusing it of 'breaking the law' to appease fossil fuel companies. This legal action highlights the ongoing tensions between state governments and federal policies regarding climate change and environmental regulation, particularly as states like California push for aggressive measures to combat climate change. The outcome of this lawsuit could have significant implications for environmental policy and regulatory frameworks across the United States, especially in states that are more progressive in their climate initiatives.
