Trump Orders EPA To Take Down Global Warming Web-Page

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 EPA’s global warming webpage is currently still up as of Wednesday morning. The page contains some links to EPA’s 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 doesn’t 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.

Ah yes, their page with the Mike Mann massaged data, the massaged CO2 data, the fantasy projections, etc etc?

[dmcnash]

Why save the data when you can just make some more up?

[dragnet2]

Lol

[rlmorel]

YES!
YES!
YES!

What a ridiculous article. Taking down a web page does not in any way remove the data it is accessing. Either the staffer is an idiot or doesn’t exist and this is just another hit piece.

BOOM!

Anonymous EPA Staffer. Can we ACTUALLY see any evidence?

[rlmorel]

I had to pinch myself to make sure-is this for real or satire?

Staffer has never heard of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine apparently.

No it doesn’t.

Boo Fricken Hoo. The entire EPA needs to disappear.

Beat me to it. We’re talking about re-directing a link. Nothing more.

This is a complete Nothing in terms of “losing years of work”.

“years of work we have done on climate change will disappear”

Good. Chop chop!

[steve86]

Not ridiculous. Getting rid of the propaganda front-end.

Winning, Winning, Winning!

And the radical feminists in my office.....

POPCORN!!!

Oh their tears are so sweet!

Ah!

Goodbye staffer.

[plain talk]

Years of work to aggregate links to other sites and this is their crowning accomplishment?
