You were warned. Now it begins: The Chicago Tribune reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working on changes to its Web properties:

The EPA's extensive climate change website now redirects to a page that says "this page is being updated" and that "we are currently updating our website to reflect EPA's priorities under the leadership of President Trump and Administrator Pruitt." It also links to a full archive of how the page used to look on Jan. 19, before Trump's inauguration.

    So much bolding, so much anger.

    he is attacking Federal Enforcement of environmental policies.

    And he's doing that by trying to erase the science that is the evidence for those policies.
    If you don't look for evidence you'll never find any evidence.
    Much like how the DEA refused access to legal marijuana for anyone doing research on its beneficial properties.

    The EPA is a lot more than enforcement. The EPA is a research organization [scientificamerican.com] and the websites that are being disappeared are not enforcement websites, they are science websites.

    But you are also right. Trump wants to cut one third of the EPA's superfund budget. [reuters.com] Cleaning up after bankrupt polluters is enforcement over-reach! Leaving the land and water contaminated is the responsible thing to do.
