The president’s cuts have defunded and alienated thousands of American scientists. Europe can benefit, if it makes the right offer Donald Trump has spent much of his second term at war with science and scientists. He is cutting staff at institutions such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by a third, and has cancelled or frozen up to 8,000 federal research grants. This hasn’t just hurt individual research programmes, it has damaged America’s credibility as a reliable partner in the scientific community. It is not surprising that many researchers – one poll last year by the journal Nature gave the number of 75% – say they are considering leaving the US entirely. However, it is one thing to express dissatisfaction, and quite another to up sticks and leave. If the UK and EU want...

By repealing the EPA’s determination that greenhouse gases threaten public health, the president is denying reality itself The climate crisis is killing people . These deaths are measurable, documented and ongoing. Concluding otherwise is just playing pretend. Studies explain the mechanics, but lived experience supplies the truth. The people who suffer the consequences see the fire rising and water closing in. They need their government’s help. Despite that, the president of the United States stood at a microphone last Thursday and abdicated his duty to them . “It has nothing to do with public health,” he claimed about the climate crisis while announcing that the federal government would repeal the Environmental Protection Agency’s “endangerment finding” , a determination that greenhouse...
Images confirm xAI is continuing to defy EPA regulations in Mississippi to power its flagship datacenters Elon Musk ’s artificial intelligence company is continuing to fuel its datacenters with unpermitted gas turbines, an investigation by the Floodlight newsroom shows. Thermal footage captured by Floodlight via drone shows xAI is still burning gas at a facility in Southaven, Mississippi , despite a recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ruling reiterating that doing so requires a state permit in advance. State regulators in Mississippi maintain that since the turbines are parked on tractor trailers, they don’t require permits. However, the EPA has long maintained that such pollution sources require permits under the Clean Air Act. Continue reading...
Endangerment finding rollback will make families ‘sicker and less safe’, environmental advocate says US politics live – latest updates The Trump administration has revoked the bedrock scientific determination which gives the government the ability to regulate climate-heating pollution. The move was described as a gift to “billionaire polluters” at the expense of Americans’ health. The endangerment finding, which states that the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere endangers public health and welfare, has since 2009 allowed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to limit heat-trapping pollution from vehicles, power plants and other industrial sources.

EPA Repeals Legal Basis for Regulating Greenhouse Gases. What it Means for the US — and the World sarah.brown@wri.org Thu, 02/12/2026 - 11:00 The United States is one of the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters . Regulating those emissions is critical to slow climate change and protect Americans from deadly air pollution . Yet on Feb. 12, 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made regulating greenhouse gas emissions much harder. The agency finalized a rule overturning its own “endangerment finding” — established after years of scientific analysis — that concluded that greenhouse gas pollution endangers human health and requires regulation. At the same time, the EPA repealed emissions standards for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. This...

A year into Trump’s second term, critics say the EPA is rolling back dozens of protections and giving a leg up to polluters After a tumultuous year under the Trump administration , the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted a new, almost unrecognizable guise – one that tears up environmental rules and cheerleads for coal, gas-guzzling cars and artificial intelligence . When Donald Trump took power, it was widely anticipated the EPA would loosen pollution rules from sources such as cars, trucks and power plants, as part of a longstanding back and forth between administrations over how strict such standards should be.

Groups say EPA did not adequately consider adverse health effects to children when it approved the pesticide Public health groups are suing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over its approval of a Pfas “forever chemical” insecticide that industry research found likely reduces testicle size, lowers sperm count and harms the liver in rats. The pesticide, isocycloseram, is used on food crops and could especially threaten children and developing fetuses, but the EPA did not factor those risks into its safety assessment, said Nathan Donley, environmental health science director with the Center for Biological Diversity, a plaintiff in the suit.

EPA proposed undoing Biden-era policy on exposure to carcinogenic toxin in latest push to weaken toxin standards Donald Trump ’s Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) is proposing to increase the levels of exposure to highly carcinogenic formaldehyde it considers safe.

This is a re-post from The Climate Brink The extreme global temperatures of the past few years have led a lot of people to ask me if the world is warming faster than expected. To answer that, we need to look at how well climate models reproduce observed global mean surface temperatures. Here I will look at the last three generations of climate models (CMIP3, CMIP5, and CMIP6) as well as a version of the latest generation of models (CMIP6) that excludes the so-called “ hot models ” whose climate sensitivity is higher than the range deemed likely in the most recent IPCC report. It turns out that that the resulting picture is complex. Earlier generations of models better reproduce the rate of warming observed since 1970, while the latest generation better captures...
