PhotoThe Trump administration is making it harder to find government information about climate change on the web. If you searched Google for the words “climate change” a little over six months ago, one of the first hits would have been the Environmental Protection Agency’s website. The site has fallen in Google’s search results because its address, or URL, no longer directs you to the climate change site or a related page. climate change pages are scattered across federal and nonfederal websites. Terms like “greenhouse gases,” “carbon” and “climate change” have been replaced by vague descriptors like “sustainability” and “emissions.” In addition, web resources about specific regulations have disappeared.
