Science -- it's too confusing for the people

EPA website removes climate science site from public view after two decades

“As EPA renews its commitment to human health and clean air, land, and water, our website needs to reflect the views of the leadership of the agency,” J.P. Freire, the agency’s associate administrator for public affairs, said in a statement. “We want to eliminate confusion by removing outdated language first and making room to discuss how we’re protecting the environment and human health by partnering with states and working within the law.”

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Friday evening that its website would be “undergoing changes” to better represent the new direction the agency is taking, triggering the removal of several agency websites containing detailed climate data and scientific information.

One of the websites that appeared to be gone had been cited to challenge statements made by the EPA’s new administrator, Scott Pruitt. Another provided detailed information on the previous administration’s Clean Power Plan, including fact sheets about greenhouse gas emissions on the state and local levels and how different demographic groups were affected by such emissions.

Looks like a parade of inbred hill dwellers. Why are her tits around her waste? Why are they all white? Why do they all look as if they collect government aid? Is this the crowd we are worried about losing to climate change? Good riddance.

Yes, yes
Old white people. Out supporting science based policy making. The Support Science marches were hardly a protest march. They were a rebuke of current administration policies. Also a show of support for legislators who are science based in their actions.

Too funny that you stereotype demonstrations as only for black people..

House votes to restrict EPA’s use of science
http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/326380-house-votes-to-restrict-epas-use-of-science

The House voted Wednesday to restrict the kind of scientific studies and data that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can use to justify new regulations.

The Honest and Open New EPA Science Treatment Act, or HONEST Act, passed 228-194. It would prohibit the EPA from writing any regulation that uses science that is not publicly available.

Hmm, EPA removes climate science information from their website. Congress mandated the EPA should only write regulations using publicly available information.

Wow. I never said anything about black people. I was simply pointing out the lack of diversity.

I also never said anything about a "protest" or a "demonstration".

You just made up a bunch of nonsense.

You also forgot to address the fact that her tits are around her waist.

LOL

You don't expect people to read what you write. Your meaning was clear.

were you aware that human activities have skyrocketed CO2 levels to 400+ ppm which have caused global temps to rise by nearly two degrees in a mere 100 years?

There isn't a climate science denier posting on this site who has a rational explanation for why what you just said is natural or otherwise should be ignored by national policy.

And just about everywhere, scientists are observing and documenting changes in weather, species die-offs or migrations, flooding due to sea elevation rise, glaciers melting off, permafrost melting in areas where it had been frozen for millennia. Those scientists now have to check with the Trump administration before they can publish. But unless the work is published it can't be used to guide regulations and policies.

We see what they are doing.

Information changes things and they can't accept it.

Change makes them uncomfortable.

No, it needs to reflect reality and to hell with the "views" of Scott Pruitt

Unbelievable

the worst part is that they don't even care about winning the debate, which they can't. they just want there to be a debate.

Winning the debate isn't necessary. They just want to sow controversy and doubt as cover to keep polluting the planet.

What's astonishingly stupid and short-sighted about this whole strategy is that they live on the same planet we do.
