The Trump administration told the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take down its global warming webpage, an anonymous EPA staffer said.
If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear, the staffer told Reuters Tuesday. The staffer was not authorized to speak to the media and claimed EPA employees were scrambling to save data on the website.
The EPAs global warming webpage is currently still up as of Wednesday morning. The page contains some links to EPAs data on carbon dioxide (CO2) as well as other greenhouse gas emissions and lists the effects the agency says global warming will have. The site doesnt host much of the data, however, and only aggregates links to it.
EPA was ordered Tuesday to stop handing out grants for projects and research on global warming, air quality monitoring and education, and the agency instructed employees not to discuss the spending freeze outside the agency, according to anonymous leaks to multiple media outlets.

Burn!
I guess global warming is all the EPA does. Should be easy to furlough those workers.
If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear.
Oh, darn!
But it hides it from the public which is what the intention is, and why the EPA staffer is crying.
Take it down, now!
This is the end!

Nominated for post of the day.
I thought Trump issues a gag order on the EPA?
Winning some more. How about the epa address these simple queries:
1. Define the correct temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the correct humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the correct mean sea level for the planet.
4. Define the correct amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the correct makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the correct amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
Torpedoed and dead in the water.
This person seems to have violated the gag rule.
Al they have to do is say “We are 100% against pollution, but we will not take sides on the argument of weather or not it causes ‘climate change’”
Catherine McCabe has become acting EPA administrator, replacing the loathsome lunatic McCarthy.
Another Trump red herring for the media to chase their tails after. ?
I don’t know the details of Unions, Fed, and the EPA workers but it seems to me that they are giving just cause to have them fired.
Can we get rid of these people???
Has the EPA cabinet position been approved yet?
It was created by executive order...it could be ended the same way.
The staffer is wrong. No data loss need occur, it just won’t be available for display!
I don’t think it has been approved yet.
