~ In a recent resolution, the Council has strongly condemned the Trump Administration's plan to repeal the Environmental Protection Agency's "endangerment finding". This foundational rule identifies greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and welfare under the Clean Air Act.

The Council, comprised of members from various communities, has warned that removing this rule would strip the federal government of its primary legal authority to regulate climate pollution from vehicles, power plants, and industry. This move could potentially undo decades of environmental progress and increase pollution levels. The Council also expressed concern for frontline communities such as East Boston, Dorchester, and South Boston, who would be at greater risk if this rule is repealed.

Furthermore, the resolution highlighted potential consequences of rolling back federal climate protections. It could lead to higher costs for healthcare, infrastructure repairs, and disaster cleanup as sea levels rise and extreme weather becomes more frequent.

The Council emphasized that this decision goes against lessons learned from past environmental battles, including those sparked by Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. They also stressed that vulnerable communities would be disproportionately affected by this repeal.

In light of these concerns, the Council formally called on the 119th Congress to reverse the repeal and restore the EPA's authority to act on climate pollution. The fate of this resolution now rests in the hands of Congress as they consider their next steps in addressing this pressing issue.
