Trump revokes landmark ruling that greenhouse gases endanger public health. AI-Generated.
Subtitle: The rollback of the Obama-era “endangerment finding” signals a dramatic shift in U.S. climate policy and sets the stage for legal and political battles over the nation’s responsibility to curb emissions.In a move that reshapes the foundation of U.S. climate regulation, Donald Trump has formally revoked the landmark federal ruling that classified greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and welfare. The decision overturns the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which empowered the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping emissions under the Clean Air Act. Administration officials described the action as a correction of what they called regulatory overreach. They argued the original finding relied on “uncertain climate projections” and imposed unnecessary costs on U.S. industries and consumers. The new directive instructs the EPA to withdraw the scientific and legal basis for treating greenhouse gases as pollutants that threaten human health. “This is about restoring balance and protecting American jobs,” a senior official said during the announcement. “We are ensuring that environmental policy does not become a weapon against economic growth.” The endangerment finding, introduced during the Obama administration, was a cornerstone of federal climate policy. It provided the legal justification for limits on emissions from power plants, automobiles, and industrial facilities. By rescinding it, the Trump administration effectively removes the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases nationwide unless Congress passes new legislation. Environmental groups and public health advocates reacted with alarm. They warned that the decision ignores decades of scientific research linking climate change to rising heat deaths, worsening air quality, stronger storms, and the spread of infectious diseases. Several organizations vowed to challenge the move in court, arguing that the EPA is legally obligated to consider scientific evidence and protect public welfare. “This is not just a policy change—it is a rejection of established science,” said one environmental lawyer involved in preparing litigation. “The courts have already affirmed that greenhouse gases can be regulated when they endanger health. Undoing that will not be easy.” Legal experts expect a protracted battle. The original endangerment finding was upheld by federal courts, and any attempt to withdraw it must survive judicial review. Critics say the administration must provide stronger scientific justification than it has so far presented, or risk having the reversal blocked. Industry groups, however, welcomed the announcement. Energy producers and manufacturing associations have long complained that climate regulations increase operating costs and put U.S. companies at a disadvantage compared with foreign competitors. They argue that market forces and innovation, rather than federal mandates, should drive emissions reductions. Internationally, the decision has drawn sharp criticism from U.S. allies and climate diplomats. Observers say it weakens American credibility in global climate negotiations and could slow momentum toward collective action. Several European officials expressed concern that the U.S. is retreating from commitments to address a problem that scientists describe as accelerating. Public reaction at home has been divided. Supporters of the move see it as consistent with Trump’s campaign promises to dismantle what he called burdensome environmental rules. Opponents view it as a step backward that puts vulnerable communities at greater risk from pollution and extreme weather. The rollback comes amid increasing evidence of climate impacts across the United States, including record-breaking heat waves, more intense wildfires, and rising coastal flooding. Health organizations warn that these trends disproportionately affect the elderly, children, and low-income populations. Whether the revocation ultimately stands will depend on the courts and future administrations. For now, the decision marks one of the most consequential reversals of environmental policy in modern U.S. history—one that reopens a fundamental question: should greenhouse gases be treated as a public health threat, or as an economic variable beyond the reach of federal regulation?

Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan left with 15% vision in right eye, court told. AI-Generated.
Medical report submitted to the court reveals lasting damage from the 2022 assassination attempt, renewing debate over prison healthcare and political violence in Pakistan. A Pakistani court has been informed that former prime minister Imran Khan has suffered permanent damage to his right eye and is left with only 15% vision following the assassination attempt that injured him during a political rally in November 2022. The disclosure came during legal proceedings concerning Khan’s medical condition and access to specialized treatment while in custody. According to medical documents presented before the court, doctors concluded that the firearm injury caused irreversible harm to the optic structures of his right eye, significantly reducing his eyesight and raising concerns about long-term complications. Khan, who was shot while traveling in a convoy in Wazirabad, Punjab, had initially undergone emergency surgery and treatment at military and civilian hospitals. At the time, doctors said multiple pellets struck his leg and upper body, but later assessments revealed that one projectile or fragment had caused trauma near the eye area, leading to progressive vision loss. The medical report stated that despite treatment and follow-up care, full recovery of vision in the affected eye is not possible. Physicians warned that prolonged strain, stress, or inadequate medical supervision could worsen his condition and potentially affect his remaining eyesight. Defense lawyers told the court that Khan’s health has deteriorated in prison and that his limited vision now interferes with daily activities, including reading legal documents and attending lengthy hearings. They argued that his condition requires regular monitoring by ophthalmology specialists and access to diagnostic facilities that are not fully available inside detention centers. Government representatives acknowledged the medical findings but maintained that Khan is receiving appropriate healthcare under prison rules. Officials said that arrangements have been made for periodic checkups and that he can be transferred to a hospital if doctors deem it necessary. They rejected claims of negligence, calling them politically motivated. The revelation has revived memories of the 2022 shooting, which shocked the country and intensified political polarization. Khan had accused elements within the state of being involved in the attack, allegations that authorities denied. A suspect was arrested at the scene and investigations were launched, but the case remains a symbol of Pakistan’s volatile political climate. Supporters of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party reacted strongly to the court disclosure, calling it proof that he continues to suffer because of political violence. Party leaders demanded that independent medical boards be allowed to examine him and that he be granted medical relief in line with constitutional rights. “This is not just about one man’s eyesight,” a PTI spokesperson said. “It is about the safety and dignity of political leaders and the rule of law in Pakistan.” Human rights groups have also weighed in, urging authorities to ensure transparency regarding Khan’s medical treatment. They noted that prisoners, regardless of political status, are entitled to healthcare consistent with international standards. Legal analysts say the medical evidence could influence ongoing petitions seeking bail or temporary release on health grounds. However, they caution that Pakistani courts traditionally require clear proof that treatment cannot be provided within the prison system before granting such relief. The case also highlights broader concerns over security at political gatherings and the risks faced by public figures in Pakistan. Attacks on politicians have historically altered the country’s political trajectory, and Khan’s injury remains a powerful reminder of those dangers. As proceedings continue, the court is expected to review additional medical evaluations and determine whether special measures are needed to safeguard Khan’s health. For now, the confirmation that he retains only 15% vision in his right eye adds a new and sobering dimension to his legal and political struggles, underscoring the lasting personal cost of violence in Pakistan’s turbulent political arena.
