WASHINGTON (AP) " The Trump administration is expected this week to revoke a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, according to a White House official.

"The Environmental Protection Agency will issue a final rule rescinding a 2009 government declaration known as the endangerment finding.

That Obama-era policy determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.

"This week at the White House, President Trump will be taking the most significant deregulatory actions in history to further unleash American energy dominance and drive down costs," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Tuesday.

The endangerment finding is the legal underpinning of nearly all climate regulations under the Clean Air Act for motor vehicles, power plants and other pollution sources that are heating the planet.

It is used to justify regulations, such as auto emissions standards, intended to protect against threats made increasingly severe by climate change " deadly floods, extreme heat waves, catastrophic wildfires and other natural disasters in the United States and around the world."
