EPA staff have been prevented from updating an agency website, titled “Climate Change Indicators in the United States,” which is intended to “compile a key set of indicators related to the causes and effects of climate change.” During the Obama Administration, new indicators were added to the website every six months, but no updates have been made since President Trump took office.

A draft planning document, developed for the New Bedford Whaling Historical Park, was edited to remove all references to “climate change.” The edits were made after officials in the National Park Service’s Northeast Regional Office warned park employees that “we’re being told . . .

A survey of scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey found that nearly one-third engage in self-censorship, avoiding discussion of, and work on, climate change even when not explicitly told to do so.

Since President Trump took office, NASA staff have avoided publishing climate change information online, and discussing the topic on social media. This is reportedly due to self-censorship by career staffers who are concerned about “provoking the [Trump] administration.”

The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded 40% fewer grants containing the words “climate change” in 2017, compared to 2016, with scientists apparently engaging in “self-censorship” and using alternative terms (e.g., “extreme weather”).

EPA staff amended internal program documents to replace “climate change” with “climate resiliency” in an effort to prevent program cuts.

Internal DOE documents were amended to re-frame “climate change” projects as “weather” or “jobs” projects.

EPA’s “Climate Ready Water Utilities” program was renamed the “Creating Resilient Water Utilities” program and several references to “climate change” and “climate science” were removed from its website.

In late 2016, following the presidential election, several references to “climate change” were removed from the website of the CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
