Sample Talking Points for Public Comments

Use these as a guide, but please put your message in your own words to make the biggest impact.
Protect Public Health: The Endangerment Finding is the scientific determination that greenhouse gas pollution harms public health and welfare. Greenhouse gases endanger our health, children, seniors, and people with respiratory illnesses. Rescinding it will put millions at greater risk from extreme heat, air pollution, and disease.

Defend Climate Action: Without the Endangerment Finding, the EPA loses the legal foundation to address climate change. We cannot afford to take away the tools we need to cut pollution and transition to cleaner energy.

Support Communities, Not Polluters: Rolling back this rule only benefits polluting industries and billionaires while leaving our communities to bear the costs of floods, droughts, and stronger storms.

Science Is Clear: Leading scientists, doctors, and public health experts agree that greenhouse gases are dangerous. Ignoring decades of evidence would be reckless and irresponsible.

Protect Our Future: The Endangerment Finding helps ensure a safer, healthier planet for future generations. Taking it away undermines our ability to protect our children and grandchildren.
