EPA's Removal of Fossil Fuels as Global Warming Driver Sparks Controversy
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently removed references to fossil fuels as a driver of global warming from its website. This decision has sparked criticism from scientists and environmental advocates who argue that fossil fuels are a significant contributor to climate change. The EPA, under the leadership of President Trump-appointed administrator Lee Zeldin, now suggests that 'natural causes' could be responsible for a 'very tiny' amount of global warming. Critics, including former EPA climate advisor Jeremy Symons, have likened this move to denying the link between cigarettes and lung cancer. The removal has been described as a dangerous step that could breed confusion about the causes of climate change. Despite this, the transition to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro power is reportedly progressing in various states across the U.S.
