Trump's EPA Just Deleted Climate Change

The environmental agency just scrubbed most mentions of the global crisis from its online presence.


January 30, 2025

On Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency quietly removed all information about climate change from its homepage and other prominent areas of its website, burying it deep in sections that are harder to find.

Environmental advocates condemned the deletions, part of sweeping efforts to revise federal websites to reflect President Donald Trump’s agenda, saying the information suppression comes at a time when climate upheaval is intensifying damage and harm.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) website overhaul reprised a similar move by Trump’s first administration, which touched off a “Don’t Say Climate” movement among some Republican-led state governments. The new erasure came two days before the U.S. Senate confirmed Trump’s nominee to lead the agency: former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who has pledged to slash EPA funding, roll back environmental protections, and promote more fossil fuel production.

In a related push, Trump’s new transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, is aiming to eliminate fuel economy standards, one of President Joe Biden’s more ambitious environmental initiatives.

If you don't like reality, just delete it. If you're a billionaire you can always outrun climate change, I suppose that is the rationale.
