“We are officially terminating the so-called endangerment finding, a disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged the American auto industry, and massively drove up prices for American consumers,” Trump told reporters Thursday at the White House. “This action will eliminate over $1.3 trillion of regulatory cost and help bring car prices tumbling down dramatically.”

The decision to repeal, which has been telegraphed for months, lays the groundwork for unwinding more federal climate regulations, according to environmental and legal experts. Thursday’s announcement, made alongside Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, marks the administration’s most consequential climate rollback, as well as its biggest deregulatory move.

This is the “single largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States of America,”

One of the biggest lies of the whole climate scam is that co2 is a greenhouse gas.....what they didn't tell you is that it's at it's lowest concentration in history, and if it drops much lower, we all DIE. Without it, plants die, and when they die, ALL OF US DIE....

CARB should be next !

I have a friend who has a Dodge truck around 2004? With the 5.9 Cummins diesel. It has very little emissions and gets 30 MPG on the highway and 15-17 pulling his 28 foot trailer with car in it.

New diesels with all the Emissions stuff would be lucky to get half or 2/3's that mileage.

Just think if the manufacturers were not strangled with Emissions regulations and were building for better mileage?

I think it would be fairly easy for them to almost double current mileage on new vehicles and that in itself would reduce emissions as you would not be using as much gas. And there may be some emissions things that do not hurt performance or mileage we could continue to use. The current emissions standards were almost impossible and too restrictive.

So I think Trump is doing the right thing pulling back the regulations.

Global Warming. I think that is mostly an excuse to create fear, Taxes, Regulations and Restrictions. I do not fully buy off into the argument that cars are causing Global Warming.

I do think it is a problem cutting down billions of trees and putting concrete and asphalt everywhere. Trees and grass use C02 and convert it to Oxygen. Try walking barefoot in Texas in the grass then step on asphalt and see how hot it is. Stand in the shade of a tree then stand in parking lot and see the difference. So I do think we are causing some changes but not like they are telling us because that does not fit their agenda. Trees, grass and water are life.

A final point to think about is they say the Flooding is so much worse now than it was before Global Warming. What happens when it rains in the country? The ground absorbs much of it, maybe 75% and excess runs off into rivers. In the city the buildings and concrete do not absorb any of the water and it almost all runs off causing flooding. Six inches of rain the country is a muddy mess, same in the city is a flood with cars washed away in the low areas and buildings flooded.

One other thing about Global Warming is the World is, always has and always will go through heating and cooling cycles. These things take thousands of years but it will continue. Through out history of the World the world got hotter and then a massive volcano would erupt causing smoke, ash and soot to cover much of the world and starting a cooling cycle or ice age. It will happen again, we do not know when or where but it will happen again for sure. They believe one of the major cooling cycles was because of a large asteroid hit. That could happen again, probably not in our lifetime but results would be the same massive cooling as the world is shaded by dust and soot.

I do think we need to stop dumping trash in the oceans, poisons and toxic fumes in the air but it is ridiculous to blame cars for everything, that is a lie. Why are they lying to us? Because they want to limit where we go, limit our Freedom, Tax us more and all the while they will continue to fly around telling us what we are doing wrong. Cars are a Freedom we have that is as important as Second Amendment. They allow us to move freely where ever we want with out having to ask permission from Big Brother. If we are all forced to give up our cars and use only public approved transportation they can control where you go, when you can go, what you do and control your money.

Global Warming scam is all about Taxing and Control of the Peasants. Similar to the Jimmy Carter we will run out of gas in 10 years scam. What resulted from that? Higher prices, more taxes and restrictions, did we run out of gas? No. Will we run out of gas? No. The Elite will continue as if nothing happened.

Barry, Legislators in California will never abolish CARB, this sleazy bunch of hypocrites never miss an opportunity to bilk money out of the public.

What pizzes me off is not one board member has an education in anything to do with the industry. Sociology degrees ? Really? My buddy Chuck put together a 70 page paper calling out carb and their science. They called him and offered him a job!
