I'm Michael Bavaro.

See you tomorrow.

And we'll get some great stories from them, too.

From The New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro.

This is The Daily.

With a single monumental action expected today, the Trump administration will eliminate its own legal authority to fight climate change.

My colleague, Lisa Friedman, has spent the past few weeks piecing together the inside story of how a small group of activists turned that once improbable goal into reality.

It's Thursday, February 12th.

Lisa, welcome back to The Daily.

Thank you.

Thanks for having me.

So over the summer, Lisa, you broke the story that the Trump administration was planning to roll back the legal basis for the entire government's ability to regulate greenhouse gases.

Just remind us what that legal basis was and why its elimination would be so consequential.

Sure.

It's called the endangerment finding.
