E.P.A. Scrubs Climate Change Website of ‘Climate Change’
New York Times ^ | October 20, 2017 | By LISA FRIEDMAN

Posted on 10/20/2017 8:19:55 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The Environmental Protection Agency has removed dozens of online resources dedicated to helping local governments address climate change, part of an apparent effort by the agency to play down the threat of global warming.

“I think it’s very alarming” said Adam Parris, who leads the Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay in New York. “These are not the kind of resources that are just basic climate science. These are the kind of resources it has taken years to develop across the federal family.”

Gina McCarthy, administrator of the E.P.A. under Mr. Obama, said in a statement that one of the agency’s most important jobs is to provide scientific and technical expertise so local officials can write appropriate policies.

“There is no more significant threat than climate change and it isn’t just happening to people in far-off countries — it’s happening to us,” Ms. McCarthy said. “It is beyond comprehension that E.P.A. would ever purposely limit and remove access to information that communities need to save lives and property. Clearly, this was not a technical glitch, it was a planned shutdown.”

With a small tweak: Global-replace the term with “GoreBull Climate Change”

If rethuglicans would stop obstructing Trump, by the end of his second term I think the middle east will be solved, illegal immigration will be manageable, and global hoaxing will be a distant bad memory that generation Z jokes about with a mocking bogey man gesture

Opinions vary.

I think it is very refreshing.

This is big. The vilification of carbon dioxide has enabled the assault on capitalism for decades now. Thank you Donald Trump.

The quickest way to put to rest the Goebels warming scam is to send some high profile climateers to prison, not only Shukla or Gleick but many at the EPA, starting with Jackson and her successor McCarthy.
