EPA alters climate change information amid fossil fuel push
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made significant changes to its website, removing references that link climate change to fossil fuels.
These alterations coincide with efforts by the White House to boost U.S. oil and gas production and revive the coal industry.
Previously, the EPA’s website highlighted human activities such as burning oil, gas and coal as primary contributors to a warming climate since the Industrial Revolution.
The section addressing human influence on planetary warming has been entirely removed.
