Trump officials suspend plan to delete EPA climate web pages

Source: Science

Trump administration officials appear to have walked back plans to scrub climate change references from U.S. EPA's website.

"We've been told to stand down," an EPA employee told E&E News today. That new directive comes after staff were told yesterday to remove the agency's climate change page from its website, worrying climate change activists and sending data specialists scrambling to download files.

The backlash that erupted after reports surfaced last night that the climate page would be eliminated may have prompted administration officials to change course. News of the plans was first reported last night by Reuters. EPA's press office did not respond to requests for comment today.

It's unclear whether the agency's climate page will remain indefinitely, or only temporarily. "It's not imminent," the EPA staffer said of its removal.

This is bizarre. Are these orders and counter-orders flowing from the cabinet level, or originating a level down?

We are furious. I am angrier at government than I have ever been. I called two of Trump's hotels today to complain since the White House phones are off. At one of them, the guy started laughing his ass off. Even his employees hate him. My point is, we need to pay attention and take action!! More protests tonight in NY. I'm listening to him say Dreamers should be "far less worried," but doesn't say, "Do not worry."
He is a seriously mentally ill man and we must be vigilant.
