Agriculture Department employees have been ordered to delete landing pages discussing climate change across agency websites and document climate change references for further review, according to an internal email obtained by POLITICO.
The directive from USDA’s office of communications, whose authenticity was validated by three people, could affect information across dozens of programs including climate-smart agriculture initiatives, USDA climate hubs and Forest Service information regarding wildfires, the frequency and severity of which scientists have linked to hotter, drier conditions fueled by climate change. And it is reminiscent of moves made during the first Trump administration to remove references to climate change from federal government websites.
This may explain the return of Trump and his myrmidons to the American government.![]()

Rising Temperatures Are Turbocharging City Rat Populations, Scientists Warn
A new study of cities across the globe has found a link between climate change and larger increases in the urban rat population.gizmodo.com
The AfD, which ran on a vehemently anti-immigration platform, has surged in popularity as the country grapples with an economic slump, high inflation and high electricity prices, while it weans itself off Russian gas.
Vital Atlantic Ocean currents are unlikely to completely collapse this century, according to a study, but scientists say a severe weakening remains probable and would still have disastrous impacts on billions of people.
- The Paris Climate Accords in 2015 set an ambitious (and necessary) goal of keeping global temperatures at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temps. But a study says we might’ve blown past that threshold several years ago.
- Scientists at the University Western Australia Oceans Institute studied long-lived Caribbean sclerosponges and created an ocean temperature timeline dating back to the 1700s.
- While the study claims that we surpassed 1.5 degrees Celsius in 2020, other scientists question if data from just one part of the world is enough to capture the immense thermal complexity of our oceans.
Donald Trump’s administration is to reconsider the official finding that greenhouse gases are harmful to public health, a move that threatens to rip apart the foundation of the US’s climate laws, amid a stunning barrage of actions to weaken or repeal a host of pollution limits upon power plants, cars and waterways.
Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an extraordinary cavalcade of pollution rule rollbacks on Wednesday, led by the announcement it would potentially scrap a landmark 2009 finding by the US government that planet-heating gases, such carbon dioxide, pose a threat to human health.
Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator, said the agency would reconsider the endangerment finding due to concerns that it had spawned “an agenda that throttles our industries, our mobility, and our consumer choice while benefiting adversaries overseas”.
Zeldin wrote that Wednesday was the “most consequential day of deregulation in American history” and that “we are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age.”
Zeldin boasted about the changes and said his agency’s mission was to “lower the cost of buying a car, heating a home and running a business”.
Welp, he's not wrong....Zeldin wrote that Wednesday was the “most consequential day of deregulation in American history”
So let me take a moment to express my gratitude to the Republican Party for its enthusiastic embrace of tariffs — an effective, if unintended, tool to mitigate climate change. By slowing global trade, these tariffs are doing what countless climate policies have struggled to achieve by reducing emissions generated by the production and transportation of goods worldwide.
NICE! There is a bunch of shit Drumpf is trying to do right now that will likely cause a great crash. It didn't occur to me this might be good for protecting the climate till we can maybe vote them out.This article cheered me up more than any other political/scientific paper in YEARS!
Thank you, GOP, for fighting climate change with tariffs - WyoFile
