NC Environmental Agency Removes Climate Change Info from Website

From Ring of Fire:

The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has removed links and documents pertaining to climate change from its website, according to a report by WRAL. The agency has already been heavily criticized during the past two months for its failure to address Duke Energy’s leaking coal ash ponds.

Until the end of January, information about climate change was available on the front page of the state environmental agency’s Division of Air Quality website, WRAL reports. But, sometime during the past two months, the page was edited to remove climate change links and information. A page dedicated to information about greenhouse gases and climate change no longer exists either.

Two major reports on climate change are also missing from the site, both of which were commissioned by the state legislature and completed in 2008.
