this is very disappointing. CO2 endangerment finding won't be pulled by the root according to EPA director Scott Pruitt.

The original recommendation to make an endangerment finding on carbon dioxide emissions was made by Stephen L. Johnson, a career scientist who led the E.P.A. under President George W. Bush, although the Bush White House did not act on Mr. Johnson’s memo. After the Obama administration did so, the finding was legally challenged but upheld in a federal court. The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal.
It's a scam. The EPA basically rolled over in court concerning making C02 a pollutant. Don't expect govt to narrow its role.

the finding was written during the GWB administration.

there was collusion between EPA and the environmental lobby which was never addressed during the bush administration. I think this was where they succeeded in boxing him.
