唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府准备在周三撤回一项奥巴马时代的温室气体认定，该认定是为全国范围内的气候法规提供依据的关键。
《华尔街日报》周一报道称，2009年的“危害认定”将六种温室气体认定为对“公众健康和福利构成威胁”。奥巴马政府随后利用这一危害认定来为美国环保署（EPA）的全面气候法规辩护，例如提高燃油经济性标准和限制发电厂排放。
EPA局长李·塞尔丁在接受《华尔街日报》采访时称赞这一举措是“削减政府繁文缛节”。
“这相当于美国历史上最大规模的放松管制行动，”塞尔丁表示。

《华尔街日报》报道称，最终规则将于本周晚些时候公布，将取消对机动车联邦温室气体排放标准的测量、报告、认证和合规要求。此次撤销暂不影响发电厂或石油和天然气设施。
“更多能源推动人类繁荣，”内政部长道格·伯加姆向该媒体表示。“我们必须关注能源富足，而不是将某些能源形式排除在监管之外。”
据报道，特朗普预计将于周三在白宫与塞尔丁和能源部长克里斯·赖特举行活动，届时将宣布国防部从燃煤电厂购买电力的新计划。

据《华尔街日报》报道，华盛顿煤炭俱乐部还将在活动中授予特朗普“无可争议的煤炭冠军”称号。
特朗普在两届任期中一直对全球变暖说法和气候法规持批评态度，2017年刚上任时就退出了《巴黎气候协定》，这一行为广为人知。
特朗普最近将美国冬季风暴的肆虐作为反对“气候叛乱分子”的宣传点。
“预计40个州将遭遇创纪录的寒潮，此前从未见过如此情况，”特朗普上月在社交媒体上写道。“环境叛乱分子能否解释一下——全球变暖到底发生了什么？？？”

Trump admin to repeal Obama-era greenhouse gas finding in large-scale deregulation
EPA Chief Lee Zeldin is set to eliminate Obama’s 2009 ‘endangerment finding’ that justified sweeping climate regulations

President Donald Trump’s administration is poised to walk back an Obama-era greenhouse gas finding that serves as a lynchpin for justifying climate regulations across the country on Wednesday.
The 2009 “endangerment finding” identifies six greenhouse gases that the Obama administration said pose “a threat to public health and welfare.” That harm finding was then used to justify sweeping climate regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), such as raising fuel economy standards and limiting power plant emissions, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin hailed the move as cutting through government red tape in an interview with the Journal.
“This amounts to the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States,” Zeldin said.

The Journal reports that the final rule will be made public later this week and is set to eliminate requirements to measure, report, certify and comply with federal greenhouse-gas emission standards for motor vehicles. The rollback does not yet affect power plants or oil and gas facilities.
“More energy drives human flourishing,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told the outlet. “Energy abundance is the thing that we have to focus on, not regulating certain forms of energy out.”
Trump is reportedly expected to hold an event at the White House on Wednesday with Zeldin and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. There they will announce a new initiative for the Department of War to purchase electricity from coal-powered plants.

The Washington Coal Club is also set to name Trump the “Undisputed Champion of Coal” during the event, according to the Journal.
Trump has been consistently critical of global warming claims and climate regulation throughout both of his terms in office, famously withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement when he first took office in 2017.

Trump more recently used the wall of winter storms across the U.S. as a talking point against “climate insurrectionists.”

“Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before,” Trump wrote on social media last month. “Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???”
