President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

The Trump administration’s goal is to roll back rules limiting planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, vehicles and oil and gas production, but it could backfire for industry.

The EPA has proposed a measure to cancel the "Endangerment Finding", which could undo many regulations that cut emissions from cars, power plants, and factories, drawing ire from New York officials and environmentalists.
