At 11:59 am eastern, the official White House website had a lengthy information page about the threat of climate change and the steps the federal government had taken to fight it. At noon, at the instant Donald Trump took office, the page was gone, as well as any mention of climate change or global warming.

It’s customary for www.whitehouse.gov to flip over to the new administration exactly at noon, but the only mention of climate on President Trump’s new website is under his “America First Energy Plan” page, in which he vows to destroy President Obama’s Climate Action Plan, which is a government-wide plan to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change.

“President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule,” the site says. A search of the website found no mention of "global warming," and the only mentions of "climate change" were archived pages that, after clicking on the links, led to scrubbed pages.

They erased it to make space for Bane quotes, apparently.

We're fucked

 

[Azure Dream]

They need their safe space. Now let's go burn our "clean coal"!

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Well yeah, it's all just a hoax anyway.

Spoiler

Fucking sarcasm just in case I need to point it out.

I hear Mike Pence has some fantastic ideas for LGBT persons. Let's see what they are!

Enjoy being the bad guy for a few years, America.

 

[Yudoken]

Welp, now the ride officially begins

 

[Lord Frieza]

Guys this always happens

It always rolls over, but is it really that normal for references to scientific and rights issues to just be completely erased?

 

[samn]

The Republican party is a mortal threat to the human species. Inaction now will lead to our end by the turn of the century.

So where are all those people that kept telling me that Trump was on LGBT's side because he held a flag once?

 

[dr3upmushroom]

It fucking blows me away that anyone can even try and argue we aren't destroying the planet.

shhhh shhh shhhhh... profits are to be made.

 

[Anarky]

Splatoon bout to become real

 

[nintendoman58]

As terrifying as this is, hopefully it encourages others who are truly aware of climate change to double down on their efforts.

I know I try really hard to remain optimistic around here, but I feel like throwing up our hands and giving up because of this isn't the answer.

[MarionCB]

We're in a new age now. There is no bottom of the barrel. There are no standards, no depths to how far they will go. This is their first act? Fuck.

The Republicans are amoral scum who only care about enriching themselves and everyone else can just die in pain for all they care. Resist these fuckers with every fibre of your being.

Part of me hopes this is temporary to put up their own version of the site but then again other parts of the site aren't affected.
