Trump’s latest attack on climate science | ABC News Daily podcast

The ABC News Daily podcast episode discusses former President Donald Trump's dismissal of climate change as a public health threat and the subsequent removal of a scientific finding that classified climate change as such. That finding, referred to as the endangerment finding, previously formed the foundation for numerous climate-related laws in the United States. The description suggests that this action by the White House aimed to support industries such as domestic petrol car manufacturers, potentially allowing them to increase operations without existing environmental constraints.

The segment features an interview with Christian Downie, a professor from the School of Regulation and Global Governance at the Australian National University (ANU). Downie offers analysis regarding the implications when a major global emitter reduces efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting effects on international climate policy and domestic regulation.
