The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) are urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to withdraw its proposal to repeal the Endangerment Finding, citing concerns over the secretive formation and operations of the Climate Working Group (CWG).

Records reveal that the CWG, directed by DOE officials, lacked adequate discussion on health impacts and relied on controversial assessments, prompting a lawsuit for violations of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The court's order to release CWG records has raised questions about the legitimacy of the repeal proposal.
