Trump tells EPA to cut climate page from website

Code:
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has instructed the Environmental Protection Agency to remove the climate change page from its website, two agency employees told Reuters, the latest move by the newly minted leadership to erase ex-President Barack Obama's climate change initiatives.

The employees were notified by EPA officials on Tuesday that the administration had instructed EPA's communications team to remove the website's climate change page, which contains links to scientific global warming research, as well as detailed data on emissions. The page could go down as early as Wednesday, the sources said.

"If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear," one of the EPA staffers told Reuters, who added some employees were scrambling to save some of the information housed on the website, or convince the Trump administration to preserve parts of it.

The sources asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Trump will turn into a dictator and rival North Korea.

That's probably because you don't understand what he's trying to do. Not saying I do...

I think climate change is a collective mind problem, an illusion. I think we have been feeding the wrong wolf.

well lots of white house pages were taken down because most of them mentioned the previous president and what his goals were, and they had to be rewritten to reflect the present. that's what they loosely state in the article. i dont know why people make such a big deal about this.

okay, there's no absolute proof on either side here, and why should any of us believe what an anonymous source has to say in the first place? even if we were to trust it, all they said was that obama's initiatives were being erased, nothing more.

I think Trump has taken this a little too far.

Whether he likes It or not, harmful emissions are changing our environment. I haven't delved Into the research side of It, but If (and I reiterate "If") years of research has been proven, his opinion Is Insignificant.
