Summary:
- The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct a review of the scientific evidence behind the EPA's "endangerment finding" on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
- The endangerment finding, established in 2009, determined that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to public health and welfare, providing the legal basis for the EPA to regulate these emissions.
- The review aims to assess the current state of climate science and evaluate whether the original endangerment finding is still supported by the latest scientific evidence.
