Trump ends rule stating greenhouse gases are dangerous

President Donald Trump has annulled a significant 2009 decision which classified greenhouse emissions as a serious threat to human wellbeing.

While former President Obama warned this action leaves citizens vulnerable, environmental groups have announced plans to fight the reversal in court.
