{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"New EPA To Argue Greenhouse Gases Are Totally Fine","description":"Sometime this week, the Trump Administration is expected to launch an assault on one of the major cornerstones of U.S. climate policy, known as the 'endangerment finding.' It's the scientific conclusion that greenhouse gases are dangerous to people's health and safety, and should therefore be regulated by government agencies that are supposed to protect our interests. While the specifics of the administration's plans are still unknown, if successful, it could be one of the most devastating blows to the federal government's ability — and the world's ability — to mitigate the increasingly devastating effects of a warming planet. Zack Coleman, who covers climate change for Politico, tells us more about the 'endangerment finding' and the potential consequences of gutting it. Later in the show, Crooked Climate Correspondent Anya Zoledziowski debunks the latest right-wing weather conspiracies around this month's devastating floods in Texas.\n\nAnd in headlines: President Donald Trump announced a new trade agreement with the European Union, the president called for Beyonce to be prosecuted for something that never happened, and Israel began airdrops of aid and daily pauses in fighting amid rising deaths from starvation in Gaza.\n\nShow Notes:\n\nCheck out Zach's work – http://www.politico.com/staff/zack-colman\nCall Congress – 202-224-3121\nSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8\nWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast\nFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/\nFor a transcript of this episode, please visit http://crooked.com/whataday","author_name":"What A Day","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5166630-what-a-day","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43417955/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
