The Endangerment Finding established the scientific and legal basis requiring Clean Air Act regulation of greenhouse gas emissions to protect public health and welfare, and it underpins most US climate rules. Depending on EPA\u2019s final approach, the rescission could impact regulations far beyond motor vehicle emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EPA proposal ignores decades of comprehensive, peer-reviewed science and relies almost exclusively on a draft report from the Department of Energy\u2019s \u2018Climate Working Group\u2019, a since-disbanded group of five climate skeptics who do not represent scientific consensus. In their chapter on agriculture, the report\u2019s authors go so far as to claim that \u201cthere is reason to conclude that on balance climate change has been and will continue to be neutral or beneficial for most US agriculture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality of farming in the United States tells a different story. Climate change is already disrupting agricultural production across most major crops and regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to climate change and depending on the region, farmers and farmworkers nationwide face:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unprecedented heat and drought that have led to crop and livestock stresses, yield losses, and depleted surface and groundwater resources;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More intense weather and changing precipitation patterns, heavy rains, hurricane winds, and floods, as well as increasing pest pressures;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decrease in quality and availability of forage; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rising hospitalizations and fatalities from heat and more airborne pollution (including wildfire smoke). These hazards disproportionately affect the 3 million farmworkers who do two-thirds of the labor to put food on American tables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The EPA\u2019s rationale contradicts both established science and farmers\u2019 on-the-ground reality. As NSAC details further in its comment \u2013 joining tens of thousands of others highlighting the proposal\u2019s departure from evidence \u2013 the Endangerment Finding should remain in place and the rescission proposal should be withdrawn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read NSAC\u2019s full comment <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/EPA-Comment_9.22.2025_Final.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 22, 2025, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) submitted comments opposing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\u2019s proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding \u2013 one of the United States\u2019 most critical tools in the fight against climate change.
