The Spin

Right narrative

The finding relied on flawed science and has been weaponized for years to justify costly mandates that drove up vehicle prices and strangled American energy production. New data proves the finding is obsolete and misrepresents CO2's actual effects, making its repeal essential to restore sanity, unleash energy abundance and return major policy decisions to elected representatives rather than unaccountable bureaucrats.

Left narrative

Repealing the endangerment finding is the biggest attack ever on federal authority to tackle the climate crisis, cynically pretending climate change poses no risk despite overwhelming scientific evidence that's even more undeniable today than in 2009. This devastating blow will let families get sicker with skyrocketing health care costs while oil and gas CEOs profit, costing trillions in climate damages.
