Trump Climate Policies Will Kill Millions as EPA Plans to Repeal Power Plant Emissions Rules

Sep 17, 2026 | Under Donald Trump, executive policy has shifted from mere skepticism to the active dismantling of the planet's regulatory emergency brakes. The tone was set when his Environmental Protection Agency announced a move to rescind its landmark 2009 Endangerment Finding, the legal bedrock establishing that greenhouse gases endanger public health. Stripping this core finding effectively guts federal authority to limit carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act, neutralizing decades of legal precedent and setting the stage for unmatched long-term mortality. At the epicenter of this push is EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, tasked with orchestrating what the administration frames as energy liberation. The EPA officially abandoned carbon pollution limits on fossil-fuel power plants, a single policy rollback expected to dump an extra 123 million metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere over the next decade.
