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

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to issue a final rule rescinding a 2009 government declaration known as the endangerment finding.
