The EPA is wiping mention of human-caused climate change from its website
The Washington Post | Yahoo ^ | December 9, 2025 | By Shannon Osaka

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.

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.”

Other pages on how climate change can affect children’s health and low-income populations have also been deleted.

The Trump administration has slashed many government websites over the past year, removing mentions of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” from pages and deleting pages on LGBTQ rights. In February, in response to executive orders that called for removing gender ideology and DEI, many pages were scrubbed from the internet.

An earlier version of one page warned that the buildup of greenhouse gases had resulted in “dangerous effects” to human health and ecosystems. The current page says that the greenhouse effect “is natural and necessary to support life.”

They should also modify the migratory bird act and remove certain birds that are nothing but nuisances.

It’s both fascinating and horrifying to witness what is happening. The powers that be have decided to go for it: “Artificial Intelligence” will be the tool they use to restore us middle class folks to serfdom, and that tool requires incredible amounts of energy. And just like that, energy use is no longer a threat to our planet.

Yeah, because that "clear statement" was an unprovable pile of b.s. propaganda.

All the man-made climate change claims need to remain on the EPA's websites although in a different section.

Don't let them erase the lies of those who told them.

Technically we’ve never left the current ice age - the Quaternary (a period of cyclic continental glaciations). We’ve been enjoying ~15,000 year warming lull. That will change.

This is nice but what I really want to see is congress wiping burdensome EPA regulations out of existence.

The burdensome EPA rules will be taken care of by the Trump EPA. These burdensome rules were established by the EPA and were never presented to nor approved directly by the congress. The Congress granted the EPA the authority to make the rules.

Deleting that is a good thing, for sure. For starters, there is no such thing as a "Climate Science" expert, much less among people from the IPCC who are mostly government paid bureaucrats. Climate science involves solar system orbital mechanics, thermodynamics, radiation mechanics, solid state physics, geology, plate tectonics, statistics, computer science, measurement technology, fluid dynamics and a whole lot more.

No one is an expert in all of the fields involved, and many are an expert in only one or two. Climate science interfaces almost all fields of technology, and very often lack of knowledge of one field can often reverse conclusions in another. Anyone who claims the mantle of "Climate Science Expert" is either lying, or delusional.

Do you think they finally noticed that big, bright star in the sky called “the sun?”

Erasing the Climate Change cult is good.
