The U.S. administration is aren't concerned with Mother Nature. The fresh face of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lee Zeldin, yearns to overthrow a multitude of environmental and climate regulations. He assures the masses that this will lower their burdens and bills. However, a climate expert casts concerns that it might not sail through in the courtroom.
Zeldin, the new kid on the block at the EPA, is gunning for the repeal of a clutch of environmental and climate preservation regulations. He penned an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, declaring that they are "staking a stake through the heart of the climate change cult and welcoming America's golden age." His proposals would wipe out trillions in regulatory fees and "under-the-table taxes," as he so cheerily puts it. This, he asserts, would mark "the most flagrant day of deregulation in American history."
Zeldin claims these moves would lighten the financial load for American families, and slash prices for goods such as automobiles, winter heating, and running a business. In totality, Zeldin intends to repeal 31 environmental regulations, including a 2009 ruling that highlighted greenhouse gases as a threat, the legal foundation for climate-friendly measures. David Doniger, a climate expert, threw his doubting hat into the ring, suggesting that given the solid evidence pointing to climate change, it's highly improbable that a counter view from the new administration would endure a court challenge.

"There's no question of abandoning environmental protections - it's about achieving it through innovation, not strangulation," Zeldin wrote.

- The new EPA head, Lee Zeldin, aims to abolish several employment policies, including those related to power plant and vehicle emissions, as part of his deregulation plans, stating, "There's no question of abandoning environmental protections - it's about achieving it through innovation, not strangulation."
- In his op-ed, Zeldin, the latest EPA administrator, calls for the repeal of various climate and environmental policies, asserting that his proposals would radically eliminate trillions in regulatory fees, embracing what he terms as "the most severe day of deregulation in American history," potentially impacting numerous sectors such as employment policy.
- As the EPA under Zeldin seeks to repeal numerous environmental regulations, including those governing greenhouse gases, climate expert David Doniger expresses skepticism, suggesting that considering the overwhelming evidence supporting climate change, it is unlikely that these countermeasures from the new administration would survive a court challenge.
