World Laughs At Trump As He Accepts Coal Award Whilst Rescinding EPA's 2009 Climate Endangerment Law - FIVE MINUTE NEWS [View all]



The climate crisis is no longer a distant warning — it’s happening right now. Wildfires are destroying entire communities. Record-breaking heatwaves are overwhelming hospitals. Floods are swallowing neighborhoods that have stood for generations. Scientists warn we are approaching dangerous tipping points that could trigger irreversible warming. Yet Donald Trump continues to dismiss climate change as a “hoax.”

In this video, we break down the real consequences of rolling back climate protections — including the effort to rescind the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding. That landmark decision established that greenhouse gases endanger public health and gave the federal government authority to regulate climate pollution under the Clean Air Act. Eliminating it could weaken limits on emissions from vehicles, power plants, and major industries. - 02/12/2026.
