US EPA proposes end to mandatory greenhouse gas reporting [View all]
https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-epa-proposes-end-mandatory-greenhouse-gas-reporting-2025-09-12/WASHINGTON, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed on Friday a rule to end a mandatory program requiring 8,000 facilities to report their greenhouse gas emissions - an effort the agency said was burdensome to business, but which leaves the public without transparency around the environmental impact of those sources.
The agency said mandatory collection of GHG emissions data was unnecessary because it is "not directly related to a potential regulation and has no material impact on improving human health and the environment."

INCORRECT and IGNORANT.
"... has no material impact on improving human health and the environment."
It has a DIRECT IMPACT ON IT.
Greenhouse gases are LITERALLY the thing driving increasingly more severe and frequent weather events and climate change.
STUPID.
