By Kate Scanlon, OSV News<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON (OSV News) \u2014 The Trump administration will repeal a landmark scientific finding that was the legal basis for federal greenhouse-gas regulation, President Donald Trump said last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catholic theologians and environmentalists who spoke with OSV News expressed concern about the announcement, arguing the regulation helped prevent ecological damage in accordance with Catholic teaching, such as that laid out in the late Pope Francis\u2019 landmark environmental encyclical \u201cLaudato Si\u2019<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnder the process just completed by the EPA, we are officially terminating the so-called endangerment finding, a disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged the American auto industry and massively drove up prices for American consumers,\u201d Trump said during comments at the White House Feb. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president\u2019s announcement was expected, as officials previously indicated they would repeal the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s 2009 \u201cendangerment finding,\u201d which concluded that six greenhouse gases were a threat to public health. The action would reduce the EPA\u2019s ability to regulate such gasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis will be the largest deregulatory action in American history,\u201d White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a Feb. 10 briefing, arguing the regulation was economically burdensome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulation followed the 2007 Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, which found the EPA<\/a> can regulate greenhouse gases because they meet the definition of air pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishops reject EPA climate decision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chieko Noguchi, spokesperson for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops<\/a>, said in written comments provided to OSV News, \u201cToday\u2019s action by the EPA to rescind regulatory requirements for greenhouse gases flies in the face of efforts that have been put in place to protect and care for the earth now and for future generations, and we strongly urge the Administration to reconsider this consequential decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClimate change<\/a> is one of the greatest environmental threats we face, and the USCCB has long supported efforts aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions both domestically and abroad,\u201d Noguchi said. \u201cPope Leo XIV recently called on all of us \u2014 including governments, institutions, and individuals \u2014 to work for policies that promote human dignity and protect our common home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Misleh, founder and executive director of the Catholic Climate Covenant<\/a> \u2014 a Washington-based nonprofit the U.S. bishops helped to form in support of care for creation \u2014 told OSV News that \u201cscientists have been warning that the burning of fossil fuels and the release of other greenhouse gases will warm the planet which, in turn, will impact human health and future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are seeing this harm now and even with the endangerment finding, we are not even close to reducing emissions fast enough to keep climate change from becoming even worse,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cIt is always good to review government regulations and refine them as needed. However, there is no doubt that eliminating this finding has the potential to increase emissions and create an even more uncertain future<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catholics must defend the health and well-being of people and the planet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jame Schaefer, professor emerita at Marquette University and author of \u201cConfronting the Climate Crisis: Catholic Theological Perspectives<\/a>,\u201d told OSV News that the \u201cvirtues of prudence, justice, moderation and fortitude and courage loom large in Catholic theology and social teachings, and motivation for demonstrating these virtues is love for one\u2019s neighbor out of love for God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor Catholics, this is not a time for cowardice, for remaining silent, on this overreaching EPA rule that threatens the health and well-being of people and Earth \u2014 our common home<\/a>,\u201d she argued. \u201cAt the very least, we all should be contacting our representatives in the House and Senate with our concerns about this offensive and health-threatening proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to a question from a reporter at the White House about what he would tell Americans concerned about public health in light of the announcement, Trump said, \u201cI tell them, \u2018Don\u2019t worry about it, because it has nothing to do with public health,’\u201d he said. \u201cThis is all a scam, a giant scam. This was a rip off of the country by (former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misleh added, \u201cI really don\u2019t understand why they would put current and future generations at such risk,\u201d arguing repealing the regulation \u201cis akin to eliminating stop lights because you don\u2019t like the color red.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, the Ignatian Solidarity Network<\/a> argued the repeal of the regulation \u201cweakens essential protections for the health of our communities and our common home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRooted in the Catholic tradition and inspired by the call to care for creation<\/a>, we affirm that environmental stewardship is inseparable from the pursuit of justice and the protection of human dignity<\/a>,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revocation of regulation sparks debate and criticism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Washington Post\u2019s editorial board argued Feb. 10 that the endangerment finding, \u201chas been used by bureaucrats ever since to dramatically expand the federal government\u2019s power over cars\u201d and praised the repeal of the regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe U.S. share of global greenhouse gas emissions has been trending downward since the end of World War II, and the 2009 policy change didn\u2019t meaningfully alter its trajectory,\u201d the editorial argued, adding, \u201cThese emissions continue to rise because the atmosphere does not care which country the gases come from. The EPA has no power over China and India, which are increasing their emissions even as they talk a big game at climate conferences<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others have argued the policy amounted to government overreach, and have called for its repeal or overhaul. In a 2025 statement when the Trump administration indicated it supported repealing the policy, Travis Fisher, Cato\u2019s Director of Energy and Environmental Policy Studies, said, \u201creversing the endangerment finding would put this issue where it belongs, which is back in Congress, where lawmakers would have to confront the many tradeoffs associated with mitigating carbon dioxide emissions and be accountable to their constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misleh argued, \u201cThe role of government is to work for the common good of all<\/a>, not just the wealthy and well-connected. The reversal of this landmark ruling is the opposite of that. As Catholics, we must embrace the warnings that scientists have been shouting at us for decades and do much more, not less, to control greenhouse gas emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rollback of the endangerment finding is expected to prompt legal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
