Tell EPA: Don't stop monitoring climate pollution
Trump's EPA wants to stop collecting data on climate pollution and eliminate an important program that helps policymakers make informed decisions about emissions and public health.
You can't manage what you can't measure, and this move follows the playbook of the Trump regime's broader assault on truth. Eliminating the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program would limit access to unbiased information on pollution in communities across the country—an intentional move to slow climate progress and let major polluters off the hook.
The public has a right to know how much dangerous, planet-warming pollution is being emitted by large industries, which is why we’re submitting the comment below before the November 3 deadline. Will you add your name?
RE: Docket Number: EPA-HQ-OAR-2025-0186-0001
To Environmental Protection Agency:
Dear Administrator Zeldin,
I'm writing to you today to oppose your efforts to eliminate the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), an important, high-quality data resource for federal agencies, industry stakeholders, community advocates, and many others working to cut dangerous air pollution and protect public health.
For the last 15 years, the program has collected emissions data on more than half a dozen greenhouse gases from roughly 8,000 of the highest-polluting industrial facilities across the U.S. GHGRP's datasets. Lawmakers, businesses, and community advocates use these publicly available records to track and compare facilities' emissions, identify opportunities to cut pollution, and develop informed public health policies.
Cutting air pollution and holding corporate polluters accountable is central to EPA's mission. If you eliminate the GHGRP, you would be failing to carry out your agency's statutory obligations.
Shuttering the GHGRP would limit access to unbiased information on pollution in communities across the country, undermining meaningful emissions regulation. This, in turn, thwarts our progress on protecting public health and tackling the climate crisis, serving no one but the billionaire CEOs of the oil and gas industry.
You must keep the GHGRP in place to protect our communities and the public's health, and to meet your obligations under the law.
Thank you.
