America’s Environmental Protection Agency “just resurrected a website chock full of data, background and science about global warming that the Trump administration had deleted,” reports Bloomberg.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan cast the website’s revival as part of a broader effort to ensure EPA decisions are grounded in sound science. “Trustworthy, science-based information is at the foundation of strong, achievable solutions,” he said.
CBS News reports that the relaunched site “has two simple messages on an image carousel on the home page: The climate crisis is an EPA priority and public understanding of the implications of the crisis are essential to addressing it.”
Thursday the agency released this statement:
Climate change leads to rising seas, retreating snow and ice, and to changes in the frequency and intensity of heat waves, precipitation, and extreme weather events. These changes, occurring as a result of the buildup of greenhouse gases due to human activities, are changing the climate at a pace and in a way that threatens human health, society, and the natural environment. Children, the elderly, and the poor are among the most vulnerable to climate-related health effects.
