Problem solved.
The Environmental Protection Agency has removed references to human-caused climate change from its website — tweaking some pages to focus on the “natural processes” driving climate change and wiping other pages from the internet.
In October, the EPA page on “Causes of Climate Change,” for example, included a statement from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that noted, “It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land.”
That clear statement has been deleted from the page, which now mentions only climate changes from natural sources, such as volcanic activity and variations in solar activity.
“This is, I think, one of the more dramatic scrubbings we’ve seen so far in the climate space,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, in an online live chat with reporters and followers. “More and more pages have either been completely removed from the public internet — or perhaps worse, have been replaced with inaccurate information.”
Another page, which once described the key indicators of a changing climate — such as rising seas and shrinking Arctic ice — has been deleted entirely.
“Unlike the previous administration, the Trump EPA is focused on protecting human health and the environment while Powering the Great American Comeback, not left-wing political agendas,” Brigit Hirsch, EPA press secretary, wrote in an email. “As such, this agency no longer takes marching orders from the climate cult.”
Another page, which listed frequently asked questions on climate change, has been scrubbed of questions like “Is there scientific consensus that human activities are causing today’s climate change?” and questions on how climate change might affect human health. Instead, the page now focuses on questions about natural variability.
“This website is now completely incorrect regarding the changes in climate that we’re seeing today and their causes,” Swain said. “It’s clearly a deliberate effort to misinform.”

Sometime in the past few days or weeks, EPA altered some but not all of its climate change webpages, de-emphasizing and even deleting references to the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, which scientists say is the overwhelming cause of climate change. The website’s causes of climate page mentions changes in Earth’s orbit, solar activity, Earth’s reflectivity, volcanoes and natural carbon dioxide changes, but not the burning of fossil fuels. Seven scientists and three former EPA officials tell The Associated Press that this is misleading and harmful.
“Now it is completely wrong,” said University of California climate scientist Daniel Swain, who also noted that impacts, risks and indicators of climate change on the EPA site are now broken links. “This was a tool that I know for a fact that a lot of educators used and a lot of people. It was actually one of the best designed easy access climate change information websites for the U.S.”
Earlier this year, the Trump Administration removed the national climate assessmentfrom government websites.
“It is outrageous that our government is hiding information and lying,” said former Obama National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief and Oregon State oceanographer Jane Lubchenco. “People have a right to know the truth about the things that affect their health and safety, and the government has a responsibility to tell the truth.”
Not that they didn’t tell us in advance.
