EPA proposes ruling downplaying carbon emissions' impact, contradicting 19 experts.

The Trump administration's EPA proposed a ruling claiming that carbon emissions from power plants do not significantly contribute to dangerous air pollution. The Associated Press consulted 30 experts, 19 of whom responded, all stating the proposal was scientifically incorrect and misleading. Experts emphasized the well-established link between CO₂ emissions and global temperature rise, with coal and gas plants being major contributors to climate change, posing risks like heatwaves, storms, and health threats.
