In response to reporting this morning from Reuters indicating that "U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has instructed the Environmental Protection Agency to remove the climate change page from its website" Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune released the following statement:

 

“The Environmental Protection Agency’s public scientific information is vital to the health and safety of our communities, not a political toy for the fossil fuel industry hacks who have invaded the agency to play with. This purge by the Trump administration leads down an extremely dangerous and dark path, and must stop now.”
