A quote from GCC Executive Director Kate Zyla overlays a picture of a congested, multi-lane highways. The quote reads: "Rescinding the Endangerment Finding would contradict decades of legal precedent and sound science. Floods, fires, extreme heat, and rising sea levels exacerbated by climate change affect the lives of all Americans and their communities, every day, in every corner of the country. Vehicles are the largest U.S. source of dangerous greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change, and taking away EPA’s ability to regulate those emissions makes it unnecessarily harder to solve this existential problem.”
