All References to Climate Change Have Been Deleted From the White House Website

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. To reiterate: It is normal that the site is completely new; it is notable that climate change is not mentioned on any one of Trump's new page

Flooding of Coast,
Caused by Global Warming,
Has Already Begun
Scientists’ warnings that the rise of the sea would eventually
imperil the United States’ coastline are no longer theoretical.

By JUSTIN GILLISSEPT. 3, 2016

NORFOLK, Va. — Huge vertical rulers are sprouting beside low spots in the streets here, so people can judge if the tidal floods that increasingly inundate their roads are too deep to drive through.

Five hundred miles down the Atlantic Coast, the only road to Tybee Island, Ga., is disappearing beneath the sea several times a year, cutting the town off from the mainland.

And another 500 miles on, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., increased tidal flooding is forcing the city to spend millions fixing battered roads and drains — and, at times, to send out giant vacuum trucks to suck saltwater off the streets.

For decades, as the global warming created by human emissions caused land ice to melt and ocean water to expand, scientists warned that the accelerating rise of the sea would eventually imperil the United States’ coastline.

12. Do they really think that will make the problem disappear?

Are they stupid think that ignoring such a huge and complex problem that is impacting the whole world is going to help this country get better prepared for what's coming at us in the future?

[Else You Are Mad]

13. Yes.

They will never mention it and will lie and lie and lie until the average person believes the lie. And, the media will be in full support of it.

21. Blame

There is blame to go around for this.

But the first people I would blame the hell out of is the mainstream media for stupidly reporting "the debate" about Climate change for over a decade.
