Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA) issued the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) abolished the Endangerment Finding: “The Trump administration’s decision to roll back the EPA’s Endangerment Finding is recklessand dangerous. By denying the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate pollution endangers public health, Republicans are making climate denial the official policy of the United States. This action puts polluter profits ahead of people’s lives. “Here in Louisiana, we don’t have the luxury of pretending climate change isn’t real. We are already experiencing more severe hurricanes, catastrophic flooding, record-breaking heat waves, and other extreme weather. Our families are already paying the price of the climate crisis. Abandoning the EPA’s duty to protect public health will only exacerbate these harms. “Repealing the Endangerment Finding doesn’t lower costs for working families or make us safer. It increases pollution, drives up health care costs, and exposes millions of Americans to preventable illness and premature death. Trading death for profits isn’t energy policy. It’s a moral failure. “The EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment, not to serve as a shield for polluters. Climate change is happening now, and the evidence is undeniable. I will continue fighting to restore respect for science at the EPA, protect clean air and water, fully fund disaster response without political interference, and stand up for the health, safety, and dignity of the people of Louisiana and this country.” ### | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
