Stop Trump’s EPA From Exposing Us to More Super Pollutants

Trump’s EPA wants to give polluters more room to release climate “super pollutants” — and Congress must stop it.

The administration is weakening safeguards on hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, powerful greenhouse gases used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and cooling systems. These chemicals trap far more heat than carbon dioxide, accelerating the extreme heat, storms, disasters, and rising costs already hitting families across the country.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claims this rollback is about lowering prices at a time when Trump’s war on Iran is driving gas prices to nearly $5 a gallon. Don’t buy it. This is a corporate giveaway in disguise, and we'll all pay the price.

Tell Congress: “Stop Trump’s EPA from weakening safeguards on super pollutants. Hold hearings, investigate this rollback, and defend strong limits on HFCs.”

If Trump wants to talk about skyrocketing prices, Congress should force action on the real causes: Trump’s tariffs, his reckless trade wars, and the economic chaos from his reckless war agenda. Letting corporations pollute more will not lower grocery bills. It will just make the climate crisis worse.

Congress has the power to expose this sham. Lawmakers can hold hearings, subpoena EPA officials, demand proof for the administration’s cost-saving claims, and use oversight and funding authority to block a rollback that puts polluter profits over public safety.

More super pollutants mean more extreme heat, more climate-fueled disasters, higher costs for families, and more strain on communities already stretched to the breaking point.

Add your name now and demand Congress stop Trump’s EPA from putting polluter profits over our families, our bills, and our climate.

The petition to Congress reads:

“Stop Trump’s EPA from weakening safeguards on hydrofluorocarbon super pollutants. Investigate this corporate giveaway disguised as affordability, defend strong HFC limits, and force action on the real causes of skyrocketing prices — including Trump’s tariffs and reckless war agenda.”
