Trump\u2019s administration is acting quickly to dangerously reimagine reality. It has deleted all specific mentions of \u201cclimate change\u201d and \u201cglobal warming,\u201d as well as removed an entire page dedicated to the subject at the http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/energy\/climate-change<\/a> URL, which is no longer an active link.<\/p>\n

Motherboard noticed the change when it occurred at noon ET<\/a>, when the official changeover took place. A screenshot of how it appeared under President Obama is included below for references, and you can view a live version courtesy of the Wayback Machine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The White House official website also used to list Climate Change as a \u201cTop Issue,\u201d but now the closest equivalent is \u201cAmerican First Energy Plan,\u201d which leads\u00a0to a statement about Trump\u2019s broad policy goals in terms of U.S. energy policies, focusing on protectionist resource usage measures.<\/p>\n

The page also includes this troubling passage, indicating in no uncertain terms Trump\u2019s goals as they pertain to the issue his new administration website won\u2019t even call out by name:<\/p>\n

\n

For too long, we\u2019ve been held back by burdensome regulations on our energy industry. President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule. Lifting these restrictions will greatly help American workers, increasing wages by more than $30 billion over the next 7 years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As of this writing, the EPA.gov website still lists \u201cClimate Change\u201d as one of its most popular environmental topic pages, so the official government agency overseeing environmental issues at least acknowledges the existence of the world\u2019s most pressing ecological issue. That may change, however. Motherboard reports insiders are skeptical that the EPA\u2019s web presence will survive untouched under the new administration, and the new White House policy overview on energy policies says it will reset the EPA\u2019s focus on protecting clean air and water domestically.<\/p>\n

These kinds of dangerous and irresponsible changes to institutional repositories of public knowledge on serious issues agreed upon by the vast majority of credible experts are unlikely to be isolated. They could also have a profound impact on the availability of environmental\u00a0data, and of course policy changes that follow from these immediate positional shifts are likely to have considerable effect on startups focused on green and clean tech projects.<\/p>\n

The official White House page for LGBTQ rights was also removed when the turnover occurred<\/a>.<\/p>\n
