Far more environmental data is being deleted in Trump's second term than before


The second Trump administration has removed more climate and environmental data from websites in the first 100 days than the first administration, according to a new report

"Under President Trump's leadership, agencies are refocusing on their core missions and shifting away from ideological activism," Taylor Rogers, White House assistant press secretary, wrote in an email to NPR. The report found climate change information has also been altered or removed from federal websites, though less consistently than environmental justice and DEI sites. A widely used National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) site, climate.gov, stopped publishing new content this summer, after the staff of 10 people who contributed to it was terminated.
