Snapshot of US EPA's "causes of climate change" webpage as of 12/8/2025. Human causes are no longer mentioned anywhere on the page.
It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Time series showing growing Earth energy imbalance (greater heating) this century
Earth's energy imbalance needs to decline to stabilise global temperatures but it is growing
The doubling of the rate of global heating in recent decades has surprised the scientific community so needs to be better understood yet our capability to measure Earth's energy imbalance is at risk: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Exclusive: a Nature analysis signals the beginnings of a US science brain drain
A trawl of job views and application data suggests jobseekers are looking abroad as the Trump administration’s cuts to science take hold.
The US brain drain.
Cutting science, innovation and education is an incredibly short-sighted strategy. The loss in competitiveness, innovation, leadership and economic value to society is large, long-lasting and almost certainly exceeds the short-term savings by far.

‘My boss was crying.’ NSF confronts potentially massive layoffs and budget cuts
Trump could propose slashing agency’s budget by two-thirds
When facts are inconvenient or don't matter any more, we can simply get rid of science.
The US shows what can happen if you weaken the public's understanding and relevance of science, technology and innovation.
