NCLCV Responds to Trump Revoking Endangerment Finding

RALEIGH, N.C. – Today, the North Carolina League of Conservation Voters (NCLCV) released the following statement from Dan Crawford, senior director of public affairs:

“President Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin today revoked the endangerment finding and made climate denial the official policy of the United States government. They said greenhouse gas emissions don’t endanger human health by driving the worsening climate crisis. We know that’s not true. Over a hundred thousand Americans die prematurely each year from air pollution. Extreme weather is getting worse, not better, and that is caused by air pollution. These are facts. Trump and Zeldin continue to ignore science and reality in order to reward rich oil and gas CEOs. We have a right to clean air, good health, and a lower threat from extreme weather. A large majority of North Carolina voters (69%) say extreme weather events are increasing in North Carolina, while just 27% say they are staying the same. We know the truth.”
