EPA Drops Mention of Fossil Fuels in Website on Warming's Causes
Newsmax ^ | December 9, 2025

The Environmental Protection Agency has removed any mention of fossil fuels from its popular online page explaining the causes of climate change. Now it only mentions natural phenomena, even as many scientists calculate that nearly all of the warming is due to human activity.

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.

The website's causes of climate page mention changes in Earth’s orbit, solar activity, Earth's reflectivity, volcanoes and natural carbon dioxide changes, but not the burning of fossil fuels.

Several 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 assessment from government websites.ed coverage areas at AP.org.

“nearly all of the warming is due to human activity.”

Repeatedly in science stories about the Sun it is stated that the sun goes in 10 or 12 year cycles. Repeatedly I hear stories that 2025 is near the end of one of these cycles and that the heat from the sun has increased each year for the past 10 years.

But never is it mentioned HOW MUCH heat increase from the sun...has it been 1 degree? 5 degrees? 1/10th of a degree?

Has there ever been a quantification of heat from the sun?

Great!

Next step is to replace every mention of “fossil fuels” with hydrocarbons.

There are oceans of hydrocarbons on Saturn moon Titan. It rains hydrocarbons on Titan.

I sincerely doubt that Titan’s hydrocarbons are the result of dinosaurs and ancient savannahs.

nearly all of the warming is due to human activity

That must mean that practically none of the CO2 from volcanoes, decaying vegetation, etc. causes climate warming. Only CO2 released by human activity causes warming.

Riiiiight.

Atheists. God is controlling the Earth and the Universe, you nimrods. We puny little men have little to nothing to do with warming. Or cooling. Or any of it.

Finally, some sense being posted on the EPA site-”The website’s causes of climate page mention changes in Earth’s orbit, solar activity, Earth’s reflectivity, volcanoes and natural carbon dioxide changes” The EPA using real science to explain climate, weather, etc-and the fake climate “scientists” scream heresy!!! I love it...
