The Consequences of EPA’s Endangerment Finding Repeal

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 24

Pat Parenteau, emeritus professor at Vermont Law and Graduate School and former EPA regional counsel under President Ronald Reagan, explains what happens next, including the many challenges the Trump administration is facing from environmental groups, and how the repeal could impact both health and climate change.
