Green Retreat: Trump's EPA Plots Major Environmental Regulation Overhaul

In a controversial move, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is set to dramatically reshape environmental regulations, signaling a potential reversal of key climate policies. The agency has announced plans to roll back several critical environmental protections and is preparing to challenge a landmark 2009 scientific finding that identified greenhouse gases as a significant threat to public health.
CBS News correspondent Natalie Brand broke down the details of these proposed changes, highlighting the potential far-reaching consequences for environmental policy. To provide deeper insight, Meghan Greenfield, a former senior counsel for litigation at the EPA, joined CBS News to offer expert analysis on the potential impact of these regulatory rollbacks.
The proposed reconsideration of the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding represents a significant shift in the agency's approach to climate science and environmental protection. This development could have substantial implications for future environmental regulations and the nation's climate change strategy.
Environmental advocates and scientific experts are closely watching these developments, expressing concern about the potential long-term consequences of weakening established environmental safeguards.
