Climate Science Page Removed from EPA Website
Climate Science Page Removed from EPA Website
In September 2017, the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative reported that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had updated the website for its “SmartWay” program, removing several references to “climate change” and related terms. A section of the website titled “The science is clear – greenhouse gas emissions from all sources must decrease” was entirely removed.
| Update: On February 27, 2018, members of the House of Representatives Safe Climate Caucus wrote to President Trump to protest the removal of climate change information from EPA and other agency websites. The Caucus members expressed “concern” that the removals “fundamentally interfere with the American public’s ability to access reliable information” about climate change and thus may “violate the intent of the Federal Records Act.” |
