On the eve of all the hyper-political climate change marches (hilariously, there will be snow at many), the EPA has done something to make all the “let’s take a fossil fueled trip to a march demonizing fossil fuels” Warmists even more upset
(The Hill) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) removed several pages – including those related to climate change – from its website on Friday as part of an update to “reflect the agency’s new direction under President Donald Trump and Administrator Scott Pruitt.â€
EPA officials removed the page relating to the Obama administration’s main emissions regulation for power plants, which now directs to an article about an executive order Trump signed in March undoing Obama’s climate agenda.
The agency’s pages relating to climate change, climate science, the impacts of climate change and what readers can do about climate change are all gone from the live site, each replaced with a banner headline saying “this page is being updated.â€
The latter should freak out Warmists even more, because there is no telling what the updates might be.
“As EPA renews its commitment to human health and clean air, land and water, our website needs to reflect the views of the leadership of the agency,†said J.P. Freire, the agency’s associate administrator for public affairs, in a statement.
“We want to eliminate confusion by removing outdated language first and making room to discuss how we’re protecting the environment and human health by partnering with states and working within the law.â€
What you can bet will go away will be most of the yammering about the current warm period being mostly/solely man-caused.
But, hey, have fun with your little march, Warmists.
trump is a science denier because his base members are science deniers. The new EPA is just reflecting his willful ignorance.
Unfortunately, putting one’s head in the sand will not slow global warming.
Except that for the past 16 years or so there has been no “warming”. Sea ice measurements remain stable & even have shown increases in recent years. The days when “the science” at NOAA has been skewed to support the climate hysterical commie attacks on capitalism are OVER. Sorry to burst your bubble. Learn more about it instead of parroting outdated Leftist talking points. Globalists lost when Corrupt Hillary lost the election. Do your own research, dearie.

Both statements are incorrect.
No, that is correct.

dave,
Thanks for agreeing with me. It shows character on your part. No rational person would argue it hasn’t warmed for 16 or 18 or 20 years.
It’s like saying that airplanes fly by temporarily falsifying the theory of gravity. Or that humans stick to Earth because of the magnetic field and iron in our hemoglobin and myoglobin!
Although the self-proclaimed skeptics and the science deniers claimed for years that the Earth wasn’t warming, they’ve been proven wrong. Most now admit that indeed the Earth has warmed and continues to warm. Even TEACH admits it’s warming.
Oh, sorry Jeff it was meant as a negative response, but in your infantile way, you took the time to waste effort for no reason. I can’t believe you think you are a cancer researcher.
dave,
Sorry, we were mocking your ignorance of science. We’ll be more direct next time.
