"An E.P.A. site listing the causes of climate change no longer includes the main one: human activity."
"The Environmental Protection Agency has quietly removed the fact that human activity is driving climate change from a handful of pages on its website.
The information was deleted from one webpage titled “Causes of Climate Change,” and another that tracks the impacts of the global warming in the United States.
The changes comes as the Trump administration takes aggressive action to boost oil, gas and coal, the burning of which is the main driver of global warming. Mr. Trump, who calls climate change a “hoax,” has eliminated climate regulations and made it easier to develop fossil fuels and harder to build renewable energy like wind and solar power.
Chris Wright, the energy secretary, commissioned five climate skeptics to write a report that downplayed the seriousness of global warming. And the E.P.A. under Administrator Lee Zeldin is poised to eliminate a scientific finding that climate change threatens human health, a move that would erase the federal government’s legal authority to regulate carbon dioxide and other planet-warming pollution."
