Now that we are on the way about the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, we can review the destruction of his administration’s online environmental resources. This is worse than the last time. This too, apparently, is just the beginning – the path to the president’s pollution agenda is paved.
A watchdog group that monitors publicly available environmental data in 2017 recorded changes to 70 % more federal websites during Trump’s first 100 -day office in 2025, compared to the beginning of its first term.
The report states that federal agencies are taking widespread swings this time to promote public resources from their websites. They are hiding which communities are most affected by pollution. The Trump administration has not only thrown the most authentic national reports about climate change, but is also beginning to change the facts and evidence with unknown information. We are opening the history of a revision.
“You can say anything that you want to say if you remove the evidence against it.”
“If you press the data, you can say anything if you remove the evidence against it,” says Grechen Gaheerk, the main authors of a report published this week via Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI).
Looking at the first 100 days of Trump’s second term compared to the beginning of his first term, Eddie noted 632 important changes to the federal websites in 2017 this year compared to 371. Nevertheless, the EDGI is holding tabs on only 20 % of the websites this year, which is due to its capabilities restrictions due to restrictions and the group was chosen at home.
They have detected 879 significant changes in 639 different federal web pages during the first 6 months of the current administration. This includes changes to content, such as changing the term “climate change” to “extreme weather”, and the term removal of the entire web pages from wholesale.
Any information about the effects of contamination and the health effects of climate change has been the biggest goals to delete. The Environmental Protection Agency’s EJ screen mapping tool, is designed to show which population is influenced by inappropriate air pollution and other health risks across the United States, which was one of the first lost resources. According to the report, federal agencies basically cleared any of their publicly available websites related to environmental justice by mid -February.
“What is the most different is the most different, erase this total information about environmental racism and environmental racism,” says Giayek. “In the second Trump administration, information control was about to remove evidence of inequality.”
Since global warming has advanced the surface, for example, a 2021 EPA report states that Spanish and Latin are about 50 % higher than others who live in coastal areas. Delays in increasing traffic from advanced floods increase the highest estimates. A press release of the report and the PDF is still available online. (Has he avoided scrutiny because he was described as a “social risk report” instead of a report of environmental justice?) However, a link has died in a press release for more information about “environmental justice information”. This is not just “apologies, but this web page is not available.”
“Information control was about removing evidence of inequality.”
Gaheerk says, climate change resources more widespread in federal websites, changes “have started to grow rapidly”. “This story is not yet revealed.” So far, the EPA climate change website is still intact. But the Trump administration has eliminated the content preparation team behind the climate. The EDGI report notes that it is a warning sign that “it is possible that the removal of climate change information is another important removal of this report.”
Scientists raised the alarm in July when the Trump administration took down the federal website with national climate reviews. According to the Congress, the deleted studies show how the climate change affects every region of the United States, from risking snow fishing in Midwest to the risk of whiping window in the northern great plains. During his first term, Trump received a report on Friday after Thanksgiving Giving – who was accused of trying to bury him during the holiday weekend. This year, the Trump administration just went ahead and dismissed all researchers working on the next repetition of the report. Secretary Energy Chris Wright suggested in an interview to CNN this week that the administration would review the first published reviews and “will come up with the latest reports about these people.”
Wright, who led an oil and gas company before joining Trump’s cabinet, also a commission last week to release a misleading report on the emissions of greenhouse gases, which rejects a scientific agreement on the climate change. According to the World Health Organization, climate change due to the emissions of greenhouse gases, malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea and heat disease between 2030 and 2050 are likely to cause additional deaths.
Neither the Energy Department nor the NOAA immediately responded to inquiries Stuffy. “President Trump was selected with the mandate of the American people to form a more effective and effective federal government, and the EPA is doing just that,” the EPA press secretary, EPA’s press secretary, Brexit Harsh said in an email. Stuffy.
According to the Research EDGI published in 2021, Trump’s first term removed 20 % of the 20 % access to the Environmental Protection Agency’s website.
Fortunately, EDGI and other groups are also working to provide available data online for the public. The unprecedented internet archives’way backback machine can draw snap shots whose web pages appear in the past years. The Archive Toll Webracorder has also made climate mirrors.
Farmers and environmental groups have also filed a lawsuit to force the Trump administration to restore federal resources. Farmers won a legal battle to bring climate content back to the US Department of Agriculture’s web pages. The Sierra Club and other groups have filed a lawsuit for bringing back the EJ screen. In the meantime, a copy of this device is available from public environmental data partners.
