Today's environment coverage is dominated by one big story: the Trump administration's plan to scrap federal limits on climate pollution from power plants. It's a move that legal experts say could handcuff future administrations, and it lands alongside new warnings about PFAS production for AI and melting Himalayan glaciers.
The biggest story today is a sweeping regulatory change with long-term consequences.
The NYT reports the EPA will announce it's ending limits on planet-warming pollution from coal and gas plants. Legal experts say the move is vulnerable to challenge but could also block future administrations from acting.
Political Wire's summary of the same NYT story frames it as a completion of the administration's erasure of Obama- and Biden-era climate policies.
Alongside the policy news, two stories point to emerging environmental dangers that don't wait for rule changes.
Campaigners warn that major manufacturers are ramping up PFAS production to meet demand from data centers powering the AI industry, calling it a coming 'tidal wave' of forever chemicals linked to cancer.
A new BBC report warns that Himalayan glaciers are melting faster, creating unstable glacial lakes that threaten India's water security and economy, following deadly floods in Nepal and Tibet.
Climate Analytics warns global warming will likely breach 1.5°C within five years under current policies, calling for governments to double down to limit irreversible damage.
