EPA Website Removes Climate Science Site From Public View After Two Decades (washingtonpost.com)
Last week there were reports that the EPA climate change website was set to be taken down, though later the EPA denied that. On Friday evening, however, the Environmental Protection Agency announced its website would be "undergoing changes" to better represent the new direction the agency is taking, triggering the removal of several agency websites containing detailed climate data and scientific information (paywalled; alternative source). From a report on The Washington Post: One of the websites that appeared to be gone had been cited to challenge statements made by the EPA's new administrator, Scott Pruitt. Another provided detailed information on the previous administration's Clean Power Plan, including fact sheets about greenhouse gas emissions on the state and local levels and how different demographic groups were affected by such emissions. The changes came less than 24 hours before thousands of protesters were set to march in Washington and around the country in support of political action to push back against the Trump administration's rollbacks of former president Barack Obama's climate policies.
Those pesky liberals *want* you to think CO2 is rising, they *want* you to believe the earth if getting hotter, they even dare to suggest it's man-made!
But this is all a theory. Respect my alternative facts!
Fact, it's getting colder, due to the lack of CO2 caused by too many trees eating all our CO2!
There's more ice than ever before! Look at all that ice off Newfoundland, more icebergs than ever before! How is that possible if it isn't colder? Fact!
President elected by biggest majority ever, Donald J Trump, will make America great again!
true, but then again 100 million years ago the average temperature was significantly hotter, and the ocean levels were higher too.
as the northern artic passages open up think how much the sea level will rise. a mere 6 feet floods, New york, Boston, New orleans (again) Washington Dc, Atlanta, etc.
All those liberal will then have to move someplace dry and once conservative areas will suddenly become liberal.
What will conservatives do then? Protect the climate now to prevent the flood of liberals into your area. /s
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
If if was possible to have a fully-funded government agency investigating something that was fake, why isn't there a government agency to investigate perpetual motion machines, antigravity machines, the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine and "meme magic"?
>"The Trumper has flip flopped and lied about everything which has come out of his mouth"
Actually that is not true. On most things he has done exactly what he said he was going to do. You might not like some of the things he did, but that doesn't mean he is lying or flip-flopping "about everything."
Nothing he says is inconsistent, you just have to read between the lines.
For example, when he says "a better understanding of our environment and of environmental risks", what he really means is "the 'current' understanding disagrees with my personal beliefs and desires, therefore, the problem must be the 'current' understanding, so we need a 'better' one"
Satan here, I claim no responsibility or connection to your tiny-handed freak.
Talk to the other guy. I hear he's been getting anxious to trial his latest Armageddon solutions.
