EPA reverses 2009 climate endangerment finding, sparking debate over environmental policy.
美国环保署管理员李泽尔丁在一个保守派会议上表示,气候变化怀疑者应该"庆祝辩护",因为该机构废除了2009年的危害发现, 这表明温室气体会危及公共健康.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told a conservative conference that climate change skeptics should "celebrate vindication" after the agency repealed the 2009 endangerment finding, which established that greenhouse gases endanger public health.
泽尔丁在一个由赫特兰研究所主办的活动中说道, 这一组织以挑战气候科学而闻名, 他认为这一举动颠覆了几十年来环境政策.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Heartland Institute, a group known for challenging climate science, Zeldin argued the move reverses decades of environmental policy.
环保组织谴责这一决定是宣传虚假信息,破坏公共健康,而美国环境保护局则认为此举是回归"科学黄金标准"的法定义务.
Environmental groups condemned the decision as promoting disinformation and undermining public health, while the EPA defended the shift as a return to statutory duties based on "gold standard science."
