Core Viewpoint - The proposal by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to revoke the scientific finding on the dangers of greenhouse gas emissions to public health has sparked widespread controversy and opposition from the public, highlighting concerns over its scientific basis and alignment with public interest [1][5][20]. Group 1: Public Opinion - A majority of local residents interviewed expressed strong opposition to the proposal, citing a lack of scientific evidence and potential harm to public health and the economy [1][4][5]. - Residents emphasized the importance of environmental awareness and the negative implications of climate change for future generations, including issues like glacier melting and rising sea levels [7][9]. - There are concerns that the proposal serves the interests of a few wealthy groups rather than the public, potentially damaging the U.S.'s credibility in international climate negotiations [7][9]. Group 2: Government Actions and Policies - The U.S. government has been criticized for its lack of responsibility in addressing climate change, with actions such as withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and cutting federal funding for climate initiatives [12][18]. - The timing of the EPA's proposal coincides with commitments from other countries to purchase significant amounts of U.S. energy products, suggesting a focus on domestic political and economic interests [18][20]. - The proposal is seen as part of a broader trend of supporting traditional energy resources while dismantling previous administrations' green policies, which may lead to a reduction in environmental regulations [18][20]. Group 3: Legal and International Implications - Experts predict that the proposal will face significant legal challenges, with doubts about its scientific validity and potential backlash from the industrial sector [11][22]. - The U.S.'s withdrawal from global climate leadership could weaken international cooperation on climate issues, as other countries may use the U.S. stance as justification for their own inaction [24][26]. - The overall approach of the U.S. government is viewed as detrimental to global climate efforts, potentially undermining the collective goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions [26].
