Trump Orders EPA To Take Down Global Warming Web-Page
dailycaller.com ^ | Andrew Follet/reuters

Posted on 01/25/2017 8:35:01 AM PST by ColdOne

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.

I thought Trump issues a gag order on the EPA?


My thought too!

I read this as the EPA website, not some private website. It is fully in the power of the appointee to lead the EPA, who takes marching orders from him, to order this propaganda removed.

Who knew!

Shut it DOWN! It's littered with BS like:

This record shows that the climate system varies naturally over a wide range of time scales. In general, climate changes prior to the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s can be explained by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and natural changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations.[2]

Recent climate changes, however, cannot be explained by natural causes alone. Research indicates that natural causes do not explain most observed warming, especially warming since the mid-20th century. Rather, it is extremely likely that human activities have been the dominant cause of that warming."

An average federal job is what—20 years? These paper-pushing office drones have had a straight diet of this GW/CC pap for 8 years.
No Republican has called them on it, so for a quarter century, for the superannuated drones all or most of their careers “global warming” has been their catechism.

Another day of walking in a winner wunnerland!
Put the wood to `em Donald. Make it hurt bigly.

They know what is coming. When the raw temperature data is released so any mathematician can generate alternate reports then the real panic will hit.

... according to anonymous leaks to multiple media outlets...

The leaks need to be stopped and the leakers need to be terminated.

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.

Thank you - a web page is nothing more than a set of folders with inter-linking.

Here's hoping the "staffer" who leaked this is taken care of - like out on the street.

This page should be replaced w/actual geological facts on the subject, to counter the fantastical world of the AGW crowd.

-Geologists define an ice age as when there is ice at sea level 24/7/365.

-Throughout earth’s geologic history while there has been life on the planet, only about 25% of the time has been in an ice age. 75% in warmer times.

-We are in an ice age NOW. It is 4 million years old.

-Since ice age time is in the clear minority, if you are going to claim a “normal temperature” it would have to be warmer than it is today.

-WITHIN an ice age are events called GLACIATIONS. This is when the glaciers expand dramatically over the globe. The glacial advance and retreat damage the landscape by scraping and moving rocks/boulders. This is visible in the geologic record as MORRAINE.

-The maximum extent of the last glaciation was about 15 thousand years ago (wooly mammoth time).

-Based on the morraine layers, we know there have been 60 glaciations in the current ice age.

-4 million years divided by 60 gives you an average glacial advance/retreat cycle of 66 thousand years.

-Based on those averages and the last maximum, we would be 15 thousand years into a 33 thousand year glacial retreat.

-Life depends on LIQUID water. The more locked up in ice, the less life. This is why there is more life in the tropics and less at the poles (and deserts).

CONCLUSIONS:

It is going to get warmer whether or not people are here or not. Note civilization has only existed within the latest glaciation. (I’m not considering cavemen as civilization).

Warmer is actually better because it is more conducive to life (more liquid water), so stop complaining and celebrate.

Due to the cold, the bulk of the Canadian population lives within 60 miles of the US border. When it warms up, that range can expand.

This means it might be a good time to trade your investment beach property for northern Canadian real estate.
